Obviously I couldn’t think of a better way to return to this blog than with a play on Mark Morrison’s “Return of the Mack.”
But, in this case, the MAC represents “mother and child” as opposed to any homage to Morrison’s 90′s R&B hit.
That I’m resuming my writing should be better news than what Wikipedia tells me about the fate of Morrison’s (one) hit song. Though the single went platinum it was kept from Billboard’s coveted number one spot in 1997 by Hanson’s “MMMBop.”
I promise I haven’t been spending my hiatus researching 90s music (though it was really fun decade). I was actually busy growing a baby.
Our best friends and family knew first, my coworkers found out Jan. 2, and since then I’ve been trying to keep my mouth shut until I was well into my second trimester.
I knew I wasn’t ready to announce my pregnancy to the masses, but I also didn’t want to edit the truth out of our family stories. So many things that have happened lately that revolve around the fact our family is growing: a new home, a new vehicle, funny conversations with the kids and copious amounts of reading.
You might think I wouldn’t need to do as much research, given that this isn’t my first pregnancy. But so much has changed since I had my son four years ago. For example, most infant foods are served in pouches I’m convinced astronauts use.
That those pouches can be squeezed into the mouth of a baby is actually kind of disturbing to my husband and me. Are glass jars now as popular as Morrison?
These are clearly the most important questions I have to answer this time around.
Until next time, please know how happy I am to share the wonderful news with all of you and how much I look forward to getting back to my regular updates.
