Blog Marketing companies are genius, and quite efficient I must add. Since bringing home Walter almost four weeks ago, our mail volume has increased dramatically with catalogues for Toys-R-Us, Babies-R-Us, Lands’ End Kid, LL Bean Kid, The Land of Nod, Pottery Barn Kids, and other direct mail pieces from companies I have never even heard of. Suddenly it seems that now we are parents, we have unlimited time and resources to shop for all things baby! While most of these catalogues get a quick glance right now and then find their way in the trash, I took a moment today to peruse the Toys-R-Us catalogue we received yesterday.

Blog Ah yes, the dogs. My two furry older children that occupied my world before Walter. Throughout my pregnancy, I wondered how Sydney and River would react to a little baby. They’ve been around small children (briefly) before, but never around a newborn. I wasn’t worried, so much as curious. And a little apprehensive about making sure the dogs still felt loved and wanted (hey, I’m a dog person. I care about these things).
