Trying to have a baby is an emotion coaster. I never realized how lucky I was with Delilah — one cycle, one test, one healthy baby. Fertility at 27 and fertility at 34 are entirely different animals. I’ve peed on 40 ovulation sticks and at least 12 pregnancy tests in the last four months alone. At this point if I’m… Read more →

Never Gonna Say Goodbye
A year and a half ago I went to work at BuzzFeed, and I kind of just left the lights on and the door unlocked on this blog, but still it was pretty obvious no one was home. It’s not that I didn’t want to have a plan for The818, it’s just that I didn’t have a plan for anything… Read more →
Welcome To The Gunn Show
{If you follow me on Instagram, sorry that you’re kind of getting this story twice. Please accept this awesome musical mash-up as my apology. But she just.kept.going.on about the costume.} Yesterday evening, Delilah suddenly stopped what she was doing, eyes nearly bugging out of her head as she remembered she had been saving something for DAYS that she’d wanted to… Read more →
I like this.
I wouldn’t trade our stunner Binth Baby Book for anything, but there’s something near irresistible to me about this trim log from Molskine. Read more →
Mega-Swoon.
I guess we know what song they have to use as the Father/Daughter dance when Dee gets married one day. (Hopefully to whoever the EF she wants!) *Swoon* Read more →
Bed Head.
Dude, I know, right? Cutest bed head ever. But those are her favorite jammies, and have I mentioned this kid counts to 12? I don’t know where the the letter F she learned that. Also, do you know this song by The Jimmies? I now sing it to Dee every morning. Read more →
Delilah Amadeus Georgie
My parents got her a Shoenhut Fancy Baby Grand (bright red!) for Hannukah. So, the above scene is pretty much standard morning stuff around here now. Her two best pieces? Old McDonald (she sings and plays the E-I-E-I-O part over and over) and ever-moving Theme from Elmo’s World. Oh, which reminds me ~ have you guys seen Melody Street? My… Read more →
Delilah Georgie Puddin’ Pie
Delilah and Lalo, sitting in a tree. Kind of. Nose is close enough-ish. {photo courtesy of Mama Ari.} Read more →
Capturing the Friedmans
…the future Friedmans, that is. Miloh feeds his lady love Delilah Geogie ever-so-gracefully as I laugh at them rather than try to help, photos courtesy of Kenny. And yeah, Dee is totally rockin’ a skullet, but I just can’t bring myself to cut any of her hair until she has more of it. Fourteen months and the girl is still… Read more →
Best. Week. Ever.
So, I have a pretty decrepit sense of self. You might not know it from reading along, but I’m like, crazy self-conscious about everything I do. I mean, I blog about my personal life on the public internet, so obviously I’ve got some kind of baggage, right? If we met in person, and you asked me what I do for… Read more →
