Welcome Baby Girl Mandel!

 

Excuse my absence this week (and for the next few), we’ve been a bit busy since the weekend.

Our daughter was born on Saturday afternoon right here in our bedroom. She joins an older sister and two older brothers (5, 4 and 2) who are over the moon to welcome her into their crew. It was a good birth as births go, and recovery is going really well (as thankfully it always has in the past). My husband Seth took the week off of work to ease the transition and so far it’s going really well, but we’ll see how life is going after he goes back. We took our first trip out of the house yesterday as a family of six, out with Seth’s parents (visiting from New Jersey) to the neighborhood pool and out to dinner.

Thank you the Ricochet family (Scott, Jon, and Max) for picking up whatever slack I leave while we’re getting used to another little person in our home. I’ll be floating around for the next few weeks!

    Hey, everyone, we just recorded a new episode of Ladybrains, with Bethany and Kelly Maher (who is 8 1/2 months pregnant!):

    Max,

    You don’t think this pregnancy thing is communicable, do you?

    Regards,

    I’m pretty sure it is. Isn’t LadyBrain Elisha Krauss in Los Angeles due any day now also? And the LadyBrain in Chicago (Emily Zanotti) is due with twins, I also think any day now. And some of them also had babies about the same time 2 years ago, when my daughter had her first child. Now my daughter is expecting #2 in August. And many of her friends who also had babies 2 years ago are now having additional babies this spring and summer. 

    And according to our more “woke” pundits, being biologically male shouldn’t exempt us from the possibility of becoming pregnant. :-)

    Evidence suggests yes.
