I feel like...a Republican.
Not really. I have a nanny now, though, which screams yuppie to me. I went to the mall with her and the baby today and while I was in Neiman Marcus (seriously), people completely knew she was my nanny. People shop with their nannies. She took care of the baby while I tried things on. Fucked up.
Why was I shopping with the nanny? Because I go back to work tomorrow. And I need new clothes. Since giving birth, I am 24 lbs UNDER my pre-pregnancy weight. That's right folks. I am 35 lbs. lighter than I was at my wedding. I went jeans shopping the other day and fit into the ones I saw and liked. It's fucking amazing. I am truly happy about this anomaly, but it does mean that none of my clothes fit. But you know what? I'm ok with that. I like being 2 sizes smaller. Hello stupid denim prices!
Things are going great. Josie is like nothing I expected. She is just the most spectacular being that has ever lived. I am not biased. It's true.
And the cool thing is, she'll only be alive for like 8 months of the worst administration ever. She will start her early years in a country headed by a black man. How cool is that? And one of my friends is marrying his partner this summer! What an absolutely fantastic time to be born. Yay her.
Here's some baby-glory for you. I will update again soon!

I had a nanny - I adored her, still do. I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I still grew up to be a liberal! Ha.
Josie looks great, and I'm sure you do, too! Good luck heading back to work.

Stop all this right now. With the gushing and the pictures of the cute Josie, and the weight loss talk. Stop it all right now. Before you make me want to run right out and get knocked up.
Good luck back at work. Maybe the nanny can bring Josie to visit you on your lunch hour?
