Life with Two

I think the most common question I’ve received since having Matilda has been “how is life with two?” The fact that I have been meaning to write this post for the past month and am just getting to it now should give you part of the answer.

Looking for Mary Poppins

With 6 weeks of maternity leave under my belt, and only 6 more to go, Nanny Hunt 2012 is officially on. We have two interviews scheduled tomorrow, one Friday, two Saturday, and on and on. Its basically a second full time job for both of us (luckily my current CEO takes a few naps a day). It feels like a more complicated search this time around - like there is more at stake. That sounds so...

just over 5 weeks until we are a family of four

I realized today that I haven’t posted much (read: at all) about my pregnancy this time around. I’m sure its due to a combination of work/life balance issues, and the fact that I generally have not had as much time to focus on being pregnant this time around. There are hours and hours that go by during the day when I actually forget that we’re adding another little one to our...
