Yup. It’s exactly like it sounds and just as gross. This morning after her morning nap (of which she is now a regular partaker- woooohoooo!), Gianna decided to sample a tasty treat she found under Grandma’s chair. I had turned away for a moment to put something away on the table, and when I turned … Read more
Today was a pitiful day for my Gigi. She caught a nasty cold a little while ago (and generously shared it with the rest of the family), and while we thought we had gotten the best of it, today was a down day for my little one. There was no naptime and very little play … Read more
We are in the midst of the second round of medical school exams. Mark took Histology and Embryology today and aced it. Tomorrow are the anatomy exams. It’s hard to believe that he’s already finished two whole months of medical school. It’s been a very busy month. While we are physically settled here in Grosse … Read more
We spent this past weekend in Ann Arbor with family celebrating my sister-in-law’s final vows with the Servants of God’s Love. It was an incredibly moving and wonderful weekend. When I first met Laura, pretty early on in dating Mark, I was struck by how joyful she was in her vocation, and that joy has only … Read more
I was going to to give this blog post a more positive title, but alas, we had kind of a rough night last night. Sleep has been a struggle in the Pressprich household since this baby’s birth. Gianna, like her father before her, has never been a great sleeper. When she was very tiny she … Read more
Post-partum hair loss hit me hard. Now, I’ve never been particularly vain about my hair. It’s pretty average hair- fine, decent thickness, reasonably pretty color. It can hold a curl in a pinch, but I’ve never mastered much more than a ponytail style-wise. But to have large (and I do mean large) chunks of it … Read more
We recently moved into a new home, and so I’ve been unpacking and decorating. I knew right away that I wanted to put up a wall of photos in our dining room, but wasn’t sure how I wanted to go about it. After much Pinterest scouring, I decided to take our old frames (we are … Read more
During our recent trip to Connecticut, we packed up my childhood treasures to bring back to Michigan. Amongst them was my old doll, Maude. I named her after my Great-Aunt Maude, who gave her to me. I have only very vague memories of Great-Aunt Maude, she died when I very young, but I’m told I … Read more
43 more to go! But who’s counting. . . This week Mark had his first set of exams in histology and anatomy, and I’m proud to report that he aced both of them. We have made it through our first month of medical school and are starting to find our rhythm. Now that the moving … Read more
From the first day we brought Gianna home, our cat Hazel has been a fan. I was a little concerned about how she would react to the baby, since before the baby was born, Hazel had appropriated all of the baby items- changing pad, bassinet, bouncy seat- as her own. But no, no, she warmed … Read more
