Last night was not one of my most fun nights as a new parent. For some reason, Sophie was inconsolable. Scott had worked a long day and when he walked in the door, I was more than ready to hand her off so that I could finish getting some things ready for Sophie’s Baek-Il on [...]

So did I mention that I’m running a 10 mile race on October 4? Which, by my estimation, is what, less than six weeks away? Did I also mention that I went out for a three mile run yesterday that turned into more of a two mile run with a bunch of walking/running/gasping for air/cursing [...]
Things worth remembering
by Amy on 21. Aug, 2009 in My Every Day, The Kid
I am chock full of unrelated thoughts these days. PATIENCE, GRASSHOPPER Some nights Sophie sleeps seven hours straight. Yes, you heard me. SEVEN HOURS. But lately? Not so much. We’re pretty used to having to get up once, usually around 4AM for a feeding. And you know, that’s not too bad. I can live with [...]
Home again
by Amy on 20. Aug, 2009 in My Every Day
So I was having this dream the other night — a fantasy, really — where Sophia slept for the entire ride back home, all 9.5 hours of it. The reality was that two hours from home, she decided she was done with driving. All attempts to put her back into the car seat after we’d [...]
Time flies! (when you’re avoiding having to deal)

When I decided to make this trip to Detroit, I had a mostly defined return date in mind of about a week or so later. Eighteen days later, we’re still here. And while I’m really enjoying giving my parents the opportunity to spend some extended quality time with their granddaughter, I’ll admit I’m also being [...]
She makes [everything] better
by Amy on 11. Aug, 2009 in My Every Day, The Kid
We’ve barely had a minute to sit and breathe between all of the visits with friends and family. I haven’t even gotten any of the photos on Flickr, but soon. Hopefully, this will happen before she turns three. A lot of firsts on Sophia’s Tour of Detroit, including her first boat ride. Infant PFDs = [...]
Sophie hits the D
by Amy on 04. Aug, 2009 in My Every Day, The Kid
It’s been a long week. Thursday Sophie and I made a solo trek down to Detroit to introduce her to the rest of the family she hasn’t met. For those of you who don’t know, it’s essentially a 9.5 hr drive. Make that 10.5 with a baby.
