Why Public Changing Tables Are the Bane of My Existence
Let’s talk about going out in public with babies. Let’s narrow it down and talk about changing the diapers of those babies. Let’s get even more specific and discuss the changing tables provided by establishments when you have to change said babies. Let’s get tangential and notice that I have selected changing tables as a […]
The Other Side: Notes on the Ninth Month
Even though we all know that 40 weeks actually equals ten months rather than nine (or at least those of us who have actually been pregnant know this, as that last month is probably the most miserable making us acutely aware of the passage of time), I can’t help but think that Miss C has […]
Over the Meadow and Through the Woods
Alternate title – Well, This Should Be Fun: The Christmas Edition Ashley will be hosting the big Festivus for the ‘Pressed of Us finale here on Friday because I will be a bit indisposed. B and I are gluttons for punishment and we have decided to make the trek home to Memphis for Christmas. In the […]
The Other Side: Notes on the Eighth Month
To the baby who will eventually read all these posts about her development over her first year: I’m sorry this is going to be a short summary of all the stuff you’ve been doing. You are currently napping in your swing*, and I have no idea how long your slumber will last. Writing about you […]

People will ask you what’s to come for your growing family, and as much as you resent their intrusiveness, you start to wonder if there will ever be more. Once […]
I guess I do this now.
I love scarves. I love my glasses. I love Miss C. Logically, this was bound to happen eventually: Forgive me, my child, for from here on out, we are in the embarrassing photo zone. God help us all.
Lifestyles of the Middle Class and Unbabyproofed
I’m handing the blog over today to the real star of the show, Miss C. The End. P.S. Miss C will not be answering the comments to this post; I will. She’s already gone mad with power by having control over this post. Little does she know that the humbling experience of her first Halloween […]
The Other Side: Notes on the Sixth Month
Six months and one day ago, I was still a pregnant lady who could (in theory) sleep as late as I wanted, go to bed when I wanted, take a shower in complete privacy, watch every single episode of Arrested Development in one sitting on a whim, and get more done in one day than […]
