the labor issue

Well, this whole sleep-deprivation thing takes some getting used to, huh? Seems more intense the second time around--I mean, who needs sleep when you're 19? But here's something novel: Sometimes Maria gets up to sooth the baby. Nothing like having a partner to make you feel like total slacker mom.

In other news, I finally got the new issue of Hip Mama to the printer. Not sure when it will be ready and heading your way, but it won't be too long now. If you don't already, you really ought to SUBSCRIBE in time to get #38 THE LABOR ISSUE delivered right to your door.

And look! Maia came home to meet her brother...

How cute are they?

What a great picture of brother and sister!
I hear you on the whole sleep deprivation thing. No fun at all.

You never get over the sleep deprivation. I have had two (babies) in two years....unintentionally, but I love them both. Still not sleeping. In fact, I think my body has forgotten how to sleep at night. You will get through it...what a precious baby.

They are very, very cute. Congrats again. SO looking forward to the labor issue as my own labor comes up! (and yeah, I know it ain't just about birth, just can't wait, you know?)

congrats on your beautiful kids. i sympathize with the lack of sleep thing, but if you can manage to publish a zine with a baby less than a month old than you can't be doing that badly! i am curious about one thing...why no pictures of maria? she seems a bit absent from your public presentation of this pregnancy and baby.

Holy moly, Ms. Gore. I don't know how you do it all. You're an inspiration to this thirtysomething, who still hopes to give birth to both creative projects and wriggling kiddies in the coming years. Thanks for sharing tales of your success in all its forms.
