I Miscarried AND Someone Stole My Phone!

[July 30]

Though all week and last I was pretty zen about everything going on with me and my pregnancy, anxiety hit me in the stomach Wednesday afternoon before my appointment with Risa. She took 8 vials of blood and told me she should know more yesterday around 1p.  In my craze to keep busy and not [...]

Baby Basics

[July 29]

In thinking about what to write today, I realized that I never went over my baby basics with you all.  The following is a list of things I couldn’t have lived without for Avital all these past months.  Since day 1 I’ve had each and every one of these things on hand at all times: [...]

Sad Cows

[July 28]

I’m always torn on whether to share information like the following.  I have no interest in being preachy or pushy, but sometimes, I hear or read or see something that is so beyond common knowledge that I feel a responsibility to share it in an effort to prevent it from happening again in the future. [...]

Cuban Moments

[July 27]

Let me start by saying thank you so much to all of you who have been so supportive after yesterday’s post.  It really means so much to me that you are out there, listening, and care.  Thank you. Let me go on to say that my Cuba adventure was less than a carefree vacation and [...]

A Serious Scare- Pregnancy Week 6

[July 26]

On the third day of our trip to Cuba, I woke up and went to the bathroom to brush up and pee (my usual routine) and realized that I was bleeding!  At first I kinda just froze…didn’t know what to do.  It was both terrifying and confusing.  I was only 5 and a half weeks [...]

People are buying homes, getting married and having babies. I am super excited for everyone, and [...]

Six items or less.

[July 22]

I saw this article in the NY Times this morning and loved it. So much so, that I (remember Eve is on vacation, this is still Bret writing) signed up to participate in the next Six Items or Less experiment. I thought I would share. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/22/fashion/22SIXERS.html?_r=1&ref=style Related posts:Guilt Free FashionClementine Art AmazingNishime With Beets!Pregnancy Week [...]

So funny.

[July 21]

(….as a reminder,  Eve is off on vacation – I’ve have been handed the blog for the week, hopefully I’ll be as entertaining as she is. *bret*) On a regular basis, the conversations I have with Eve (often over text, but nonetheless) make me laugh out loud. literally. I can often be found giggling at my blackberry in [...]

Pregnancy Week 5

[July 20]

Ok, so I lied…though I didn’t mean to.  Pregnancy hormones really take over your brain among other things.  All week I’ve been clumsy, losing my word, misstating dates, and forgetting where I put things down.  So sorry!  Last week I wasn’t 2 weeks pregnant, I was 4. Here’s how it works.  Because most of us [...]

Cuba Here We Come!

[July 16]

So…tomorrow I leave for Cuba! Yay! It’s my grandmother’s 75th birthday and the whole family is going.  Before the embargo, my grandparents visited Cuba and fell in love with it.  They’re pretty passionate people and fall hard.  Furthermore, they’re pretty stubborn people and no embargo is going to stop them from going. Here’s my cute [...]
