Today is my birthday.
Last year was the best I’ve ever had. It was just so splendid. I lived in Cambridge, got (and most importantly, stayed) pregnant, moved back to Texas, and had Hannah.

Today is Erin’s baby shower–and the internet is so very excited for her. The awesome Renee suggested that we do a video blog for her, but I’m not going to subject you wonderful people to my scrunched up headache face this early in the morning because that just wouldn’t be kind.
Given that, I’ll talk about [...]
