Getting my groove back.

So little by little I have been getting back out into the world with a baby in tow. First to the OB's office, then the pediatrician, then Babies R Us...And today I actually went on a lunch date! So it takes a little more forethought and planning when bringing an infant along to a chic little French restaurant in one of Philly's yuppiest of neighborhoods. But I managed. And my little man was a cherub! He slept most of the time. I think I am getting the hang of this "hip, modern mom" thing. Baby in one hand, and a mocha latte in the other...

A look back

I just re-read my first blog entry where I prophecied how my birthing experience would go. Here's what I said:

"I envisioned myself giving birth as charmingly as Kimberly Williams (Father of the Bride, part 2), Julianne Moore (Nine Months) and of course Jennifer Aniston as Rachel Green. It was a nice thought, but somehow I think my birthing experience will probably be more reminiscent of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre with me looking like Charlize Theron in Monster."

Here's a look at the prophecy's fulfillment...


And I might add that my sister and Brian both commented on how the amount of blood on the floor and walls looked like a horror movie.

Charlize? Is that you??
