A commentary on life with our new baby girl, Isabel Grace, as seen through the myopic lens of new parenthood. Izzy was born prematurely in October, 2009, at just over 2.5 pounds. She has amazed us with both her capacity for sheer gluttony and an innate ability to age her parents in exponential fashion.

About me
My name is Jen and I've recently become a mom. This is my long-range alternative to retiring, traveling, and collecting grandchildren like so many knick-knacks. While not quite elderly at 43, I am clawing my way up and over the proverbial hill.
I am married to a great guy, Dave, who just doesn't get blogging, Facebook, or Twitter. But he gets fatherhood, so he's alright by me.
I am also a veterinarian which is a great background for tending to babies which are, of course, animals in their own right. The best kind. Plus, vets are accustomed to routine assaults with vomit, feces, junglesque vocalizations, urine, and general chaos.
I am/was an enthusiastic runner who went from a respectable 8 minute/mile to 8 minutes per large pizza during my pregnancy. I am in engaged in the slow process of reversing the gravitational effects of this trend.
I'm chronically and simultaneously sleep-deprived, anxious, exhilarated, fulfilled, awed, and bewildered...I'm Izzy's mom.
