minutes, you make the most of it. I am now an Olympic multi-tasker. Give me my fifteen minutes and I can shower, clean spit up, check email, clean spit up, change a diaper, clean spit up, make a phone call, clean spit up, look for a bigger apartment (we need more space, if you know of anything big and cheap, let me know). You get the idea. Spit up is a major theme in my life at this point.

Eating: Food, like sleep, is a luxury. My definition of a meal has now morphed from Greenmarket sourced, multi-course tasting menu to a random buffet made up of few crackers and cheese, a scrap of chicken, a mouthful of pasta, a bite of pita and hummus, a few forkfuls of salad, and a couple of sips of coffee here and there (cold coffee because I can never manage to get to it when it’s hot). That’s pretty much what I’ve consumed in the past two days. Not even remotely kidding.

Weight Loss: Anyone looking to lose weight? Have a baby. You have no time to work out, but you have no time to eat anything, either. Oprah: Forget Bob Greene, have a kid.

Daddies: Thank god for Craig. Without him to help (he does everything short of lactate), I might have given up after the first week. Actually, who am I kidding? I wouldn’t have made it past the first day. Props also go to my mom for being the best grandma/unpaid nanny ever.

Hormones: Please siphon them out of my body, now! Craig would second this request. I feel for him.  One minute I am a happy, joyful mother in a state of such pure bliss I don’t think I can contain myself, and the next I am a cranky, obnoxious bitch from hell, and the next a sad, sappy, teary-eyed mess. There’s nothing like life post-partum!

Love: It expands quicker than your waistline after a pig roast. It feels infinite. The thing is, for me, my soul’s quotient for love has only been matched by its capacity for fear. At three weeks old, Emily spiked a high fever and gave us a big scare. We were in the hospital for three days. There were IVs, spinal taps, and all sorts of tests that came back with nothing. It was a virus and she pulled through and is back to normal now, but it was terrifying. Big love equals even bigger fear.  

Style: I used to care about my clothes. Now, all I care about is making sure I am actually dressed. Anything will do that’s light, machine washable, and easy to pull on and off because I have to change so m ... [more, click below]
