Considering that I did not get *permission* from my Hubby to write this, I may (or may not) be in a teeny-weeny little argument now that this is live online for all of you to see. My Hubby is manly, tough, can install recessed lighting on command and is also a pretty smart cookie in…

My dirty philosophy: Expecting moms, don’t hate me. (Read the whole thing.)
What’s the trick to losing baby weight? DON’T GAIN IT. I’m not evil or mentally ill, but I am honest. Last week, Mommywood spectators were marveling at (and hating) how supermodel Miranda Kerr’s body has bounced right back to it’s sexy shape just 4 months after having a baby. Rachel Zoe is not-so-shockingly skinny again…
New Mom Fail! My Big Fess-up… and f*ck-up.
Ladies and gents, we’ve had a new mom fail. Big time. No getting around this one, so I’ll just blurt it out: LadyP rolled off the bed a few days ago. She’s perfectly fine (luckily), but I am NOT. The more I hear myself say “I took my hands off her for ONE SECOND,” the…
UNfabulous Thursday: In Tendonitis Hell?
Be informed, new mommies, you may soon lose the use of your thumbs, hands and/or wrists. For those of you who teasingly call me a bitch for fitting back into my skinny jeans months after having my baby, please take satisfaction in the fact that (although I may have my a$$ back in shape) I can…
Shots anyone? Join the fun.
In my not too distant past, “shots” once meant two words: GREY GOOSE. CHILLED PETRONE. KAMI-KAZE. Ha! Those were the days. Loud music, good times, wild memories, ridiculous pictures… take me back! Yesterday, I experienced the “shots” of my new mommyhood life. Instead of going to a bar, we headed to the pediatrician’s office for…
MEDICAL-MONDAY: Mind your hair!
Ever heard of hair tourniquet (tur-ni-ket) syndrome in newborns? Neither had I, until my pediatric plastic surgeon husband scared the heck out of me about it. When we first brought home LadyP from the hospital (1 month ago!) he kept telling me to “mind my hair” and make sure that there weren’t any of my…
MEDICAL-MONDAY: Babies and your blood pressure.
Just when I thought I was out-of-the-woods with this pregnancy thing, I find that I’m now dealing with postpartum high blood pressure. We discovered it during my last days of recovery in the hospital and I’ve been freaking out about it ever since (which I’m sure isn’t helping my situation). My doctor explained that this…
