When our baby announcements arrived the other day, I could hardly wait to tear into the box. It felt a little like Christmas! Of course I love anything with Hudson’s image, but I am so happy with how these turned out–they’re beautiful! We couldn’t wait to send them out. I even mailed one to […]

Today I have my six-week postpartum check-up with my OB. I have been dreading it (please, no more pelvic exams), but it will be nice to see my doctor again and hear that it’s safe to go back in the water. (Come on, do we really have to wait six weeks to go swimming?) Here’s […]

We weathered a hurricane this weekend–a first for all three of us. Fortunately, the storm didn’t cause much damage around us, and we weren’t seriously impacted (save for some anxious anticipation and cabin fever). In fact, Hudson was so nonplussed by it all that he slept nearly six hours straight–right through the storm! Hooray! (Do […]

I wonder if the coconut water companies know what a market they have in expectant mothers. (Probably.) Just about every pregnant woman I know loves to drink coconut water–usually citing electrolytes for hydration (a nice alternative to brightly colored and sugary sports drinks) and high potassium for leg cramps. And chilled coconut water with a […]

I have grown more or less accustomed to the sirens, the trucks, the construction… the things that pass you by countless times in a single afternoon in Manhattan. Walking around the city with a baby, however, I am more aware (read: scared) than ever of how loud it can all be. And then we took […]

I’ve asked a few friends and fellow-bloggers to guest post while I am getting acquainted with Hudson–though I know I’ll enjoy sharing updates and photos from time to time. Jenn is a Brooklyn-based designer who writes a beautiful site, Luster. We got to know each other (online) over shared travel interests. And I just learned […]

It’s true what they say about parents of infants: they talk a lot about poop. Much of Hudson’s communication with us is, currently, via his diaper. We found this, ahem, colorful visual guide to baby poop on Baby Center before Hudson was born and it cracked us up. “Who is taking picture’s of their child’s […]

Hudson month one from Aron Bruhn on Vimeo. We decided that Hudson should sit on the couch with his elephant friend for his monthly photos. Thank you to those of you who added some suggestions last week! I swear I’ll narrow it down to just one at some point soon, but I just love all […]

I’ve been spending a lot of time wearing Hudson in his Sakura Bloom ring sling. He loves it! Provided he’s not hungry or sporting a heavy diaper, he will grow calm or fall asleep almost the instant I put him in it. I often still push his stroller along with me–having not quite mastered the […]

A sweet idea for a kids’ birthday party: Milk + Bookies is a non-profit organization that exposes young children to how great it feels to give back while celebrating the love of a good book. You can order your own “Bookies Box” and host an event (I love their ideas for a storybook themed party).
