Welcome! Glad you're here.

Welcome, family and friends! In an attempt to avoid chronic and obsessive Facebook updates ("Max had an A+ burp this morning!") and grainy ultrasound picture's of baby's right elbow (. . . you mean, not each of my 400 friends care to see this?), here you will find updates on Baby Kaplan, our journey into parenthood (the good, the bad, and the drooly), and living as a family of 3. So sit back, nosh on something yum, and click around.

Love,
Heidi, Josh, & Max

You know you're a new mother when . . . .

You know you're a new mother when . . . .

1. It takes you 4 hours to walk your ipad from the living room to the bedroom to plug into the charger.
2. Babycenter.com has replaced Google and/or Facebook as your home page.
3. You continue to sway in a side-to-side rocking motion after handing off your baby to your husband.
4. Blow drying your hair is reserved for only those occasions on which you are sure you will be seeing other adults (makeup and any pants of the non-sweat variety apply here, as well).
5. You start talking to your coffee.
6. You hear your baby stir in the middle of the night and you, before completely waking up, have a glorious dream that you hired an evening nanny. (True story).
7. The thought of heading to the grocery store with your infant makes you sweat and end up in the pantry, talking yourself into preferring the expiring corn flakes you've been grazing on the past six days.
8. You laugh at all your high heels and wedges as they get kicked further and further back into the closet.
9. Baby talk inadvertently finds its way into every adult conversation at least once.
10. You lock eyes with your smiling child, and your heart melts into his like they have beat as one your entire life.
