Why We Moved: Free Parking.

Sure, a jackknifed tractor-trailer on the BQE added an extra hour and a half to our commute yesterday, but we still came home to our very own parking spot. In our own driveway. I usually spent about that amount of time cruising for a not-too-close-to-the-hydrant, no parking until 7pm, non-Muni-Metered spot after work.

The sweet life.

Where I've Been

Well, folks, we've finally moved out of The City. Ok, we're only technically out of the city. We're really only a few miles away. This move was nearly two weeks long, snafu-laden but well worth it. I was too superstitious to tell you everything in real time but now that we are officially in the house, I will record the odyssey once I unpack my brain.

Happy Tuesday!

Is this reckless?

Dr. Jana has also created a few simple tips and a video to help moms prepare for the arrival of their little ones. Her tips cover several topics including building a new baby “supply kit” and advice for moms on the go.
In addition, Dr Jana has some great tips for feeding your newborn baby:

• Comfortable Feedings: Feeding your baby is one of the first and most important things you’ll do as a new parent. One way to help ensure both you and your baby are more relaxed and comfortable during feeding sessions is to register for or purchase a comfortable feeding chair. Armrests can provide both extra support and, in some cases, even extra storage. Some women also prefer to prop their feet up on a nursing stool or ottoman to help relieve stress on their legs and back. Many nursing moms also find nursing pillows to be very helpful. These are specially-designed pillows that typically encircle your waist and can ease the strain on your back, shoulders and neck and spare you some unnecessary aches and pains.

• Baby “Supply Kit”: Once you’ve gotten comfortable with your feeding routine, you may find it useful to create a “feeding supply kit.” This isn’t a formal kit, but rather a set of practical feeding supplies that you can easily take with you from room-to-room. This will allow you to have everything you need – burp cloths, a blanket or nursing cover up, a bottle of water for you, for example – all within arms reach when you sit down to feed your baby. It’s also useful to have extra diapers, wipes, a change of clothing and a diaper changing mat ready to go so that these inevitably necessary items will be handy regardless of the room you’re in.
