Read the End. I Want to Know What You Think.

• I've lost a total of 8 pounds since those aforementioned horrible bathing suit photos! It's been 6 pounds in the past month. So exciting!
• I haven't run since last month when we both (E in the stroller) about died from the humidity at 8am. I'll pick it back up in September probably.
• Remember how everyone says, "Don't read the books?" and you learn that they are geniuses for saying that? Well then you think you have it down... except that you get a stroke of, "Wonder if I'm doing it right?" and you read the book again. Don't.
• No, I'm serious. Not even the seemingly innocuous ones of the "What to Expect" variety. There are plenty of ways to make you feel inadequate.
• ...or that you are ruining your child forever and ever. 
• Thanks so much for all the car seat advice! And yes Jen, I want to borrow that strap. Could you send it to me?
• Has anyone noticed that the kid who picks up the family's trash at the curb in Toy Story 3 is wearing the same shirt as Sid Philips in Toy Story? Do you think it's supposed to be the same kid grown up? Discuss.
• E is super into Pixar right now. It's fun.
