For Gabrielle
On Sunday September 27th, just hours after giving birth to her baby girl Gabrielle, Jewelyn Okamoto died of an amniotic fluid embolism. Sudden, tragic, and unpredictable, her death left her husband Philip to care for their beautiful daughter without his wife by his side. Visit the website set up in Jewelyn’s honor HERE for details on how you can… Read more →
Oh, Offi!
Today is the last day to enter The818.com’s 100$ One Kings Lane Gift Certificate giveaway (click HERE to do so) and quite fittingly, OKL’s got Offi’s stunning modern baby furniture on sale today (as well as some of their super sweet office furniture) of which I am a huge fan.

Shameless.
So, as you may have guessed, I haven’t quite returned to the land of the living yet – having a 5 day old is pretty exhausting, but I’m loving every minute of it (well, except the part where it feels like someone drove a Mack Truck through my lady business. Seriously.) Anyway – I just found out that The818.com is… Read more →

I kind of like him being in my picture though, so I’m going with it. That’s us at… Read more →
Sex and Pineapple
Walking around knowing your cervix is gaping open is a really weird feeling. Like my Vagina is some kind of time bomb. Like at any second my water will burst in the self-help section of Ikea/on my couch/all over the upholstery of my car, and labor will have begun. At this point, I’ve become so convinced that every twinge, every… Read more →
The Cute, The Unnecessary, and The Frivolous
It’s easy to get lost in the sea of baby gear that you start to convince yourself you’re going to need. Snuggle Nest? Miracle Blanket? Video Monitor? Wipes Warmer? Seat Saver? Vulli Teether? It’s maddening, and lately I find myself staring over the edge of the panic cliff wondering if I’ve just outfitted my baby with a room… Read more →
Low Rider
Normally, I like to keep my belly self-portraits confined to the belly, but this week, in hopes that it will be the last picture I take, I thought I should record myself in all of my swollen glory – my engorged nose and sausage fingers are providing plenty of fuel for my raging body dysmorphia, even as I do my… Read more →
