8 months old






If I keep you in a Onesie until you're 5...will that make you my baby forever? I like how the Onesie is the great baby equalizer. Age is hard to determine, socio-economic status, even gender. And all babies look like, well babies in the Onesie.

Eight months has included lots of change for our family. For us this month change came in the form of me getting an unexpected job offer. I knew my job situation would be changing but I thought I had a couple more months to do the part time thing and spend more time with B. I've been a working girl for the past 24 years and this new job at 32-40 hours a week (my choice) is providing me and the family full time benefits, for me the first time EVER in 24 years I have job benefits! That alone is what is getting me up at 7 each morning to take BART to the big city (SF) to work as the office manager at Yoga Journal. It's a good fit and I've been there before when I was first PG with B -I covered my friends maternity leave. So 3 days a week I barely get to see the boy and 2 days a week I am home just after lunchtime. Not bad. He is getting some serious daddy time.

My mom came to help with the transition and it was wonderful. We had her housekeeping and babykeeping aide for 2 weeks, we miss her tons!

So once again I have the perfect excuse for not posting sooner. It's that darn change, getting in the way again.
