Checking in
A quick hello from New York
Hello from my tiny little walk up on the Upper West Side! I’m writing this after being in my head a little too long, I think. Will was out of town for a while and Caroline spiked a gnarly fever following her one year vaccines. It was a whole thing, and I was so tired I could barely stay up past 8pm. That quickly turned into a hiatus I was not expecting, I’m sorry about that!
This stage of parenthood has so much sweetness about it (the cuddles, the laughs!) but also a lot of exhaustion. We power through! One of the biggest highlights this past week was watching Caroline’s determination to walk.
Here’s a sweet little video from the Museum of Natural History (at this point I could probably navigate the exhibits with my eyes closed, since we’re there three times a week!).
It feels so much like fall in New York, right on cue. The city shifts in perfect step with the calendar, the seamless transition never ceases to amaze me. Trench coats and hot chocolate are making their autumn debut in tandem, and Little C’s wardrobe is starting to mirror the cooler temps.
I’m excited to get back into the swing of things starting Monday, I’ll chat with you more soon. I just wanted to pop in for a quick hello and to let you know that all is well (now that Will is home, that is). Glad to be out of my head again (I’m a professional over thinker!).
Hope things are going great for you!
