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 Mom When.... (cont'd)

11. With the constant, familiar rotation of songs you sing to your baby, you begin seriously analyzing their lyrics ("The cheese stands alone"? That's sad. And a waste of a good source of calcium.)

12. You stare at non-parents' Facebook albums, titles such as "VACATION", "Nights Out", and "Sabina's Bachelorette: Oh No She Dih-ent!", and startle yourself with the volume of your own nostalgic sigh.

13. Speaking of Facebook, your page has inevitably become a portal into each microsecond of your child's existence; such that one could print off each photo and make his own flipbook.

14. Wheel Of Fortune is late night TV.

15. Ice-breaker topics for new acquantainces have gone from "what area do you live in/restaurants do you go to/do for a living?" to "who is your pediatrician/has he slept through the night/gurrrl you KNOW I know about reflux!"

16. Red traffic lights are the devil (you know what I'm talking about).

To be continued! Now if you'll excuse me, I suddently got a weird craving for cheese.
