So, obviously, this hasn’t been a good year for updating this site, but like many an earnest blogger, I intend to do better.
I was trying to come up with nice sounding excuses, like I’d rather spend time with Tatiana and Sarah than write about it, but, really, it probably comes mostly down to my travel [...]

When LittleBabyGirl get sleepy, she rubs her eyes.
When she’s particularly sleepy and we’re holding her, she’ll rub her face on our chest our shoulder.
Tonight, she was doing this—rubbing her face on my shoulder—and then she stopped and looked up at my face.
She then reached up with her hand to touch my cheek, and pulled herself [...]

Medical school is pretty rigorous. Right now Sarah is in the last rotation of her third year of medical school (she’s starting her fourth year a little late because of some baby being born or something), and it’s been the toughest so far. Internal Medicine for those who are curious.
During this rotation she’s had (and [...]

Quick: What’s grosser than gross?
Tatiana spitting up down the inside of Sarah’s tank-top.
What’s grosser than that?
Tatiana spitting up in Rahul’s mouth.
GROSS.
I’ve been pretty lucky in the spit-up department. My shirts? Not so much. About half of my favorite t-shirts now have a long dark patch down one side of them. Some of them even have [...]

These days the nanny leaves around 3PM, so I get a little one-on-one time with littlebabygirl. And I’m convinced that this is Tatiana’s happiest time of day. Well, except when she’s eating… or playing with Sarah… or…
Okay, third happiest time of day.
Anyway, what we usually do is have a sing-a-long! For donating at BloggersForACure, [...]

We have a nanny!
This month Mindy started coming in to watch Tatiana during the day, allowing Sarah to return to medical school and allowing me to keep my home office a home office instead of a home office/nursery.
As Sarah noted in her last post, it’s really hard to hand littlebabygirl over to someone else in [...]

(I started this the day after littlebabygirl was born, but didn’t really get to finish it… so I’m going to try now)
There’s more story to tell, about all of this baby-birthing stuff, but there’s one thought that I’d like to capture before I forget. It’s not really sweet or life-changing, but it was an [...]

I had really expected the So Your Wife is Pregnant series of posts to have many more entries, but, unfortunately for you, Sarah’s behavior hasn’t changed all that much. She’s pretty much been the same ol’ Sarah. Which is, of course, GREAT SARAH.
In the last few weeks, however, I’ve been able to put [...]

When Sarah and I were getting married, we were having a discussion about last names, and, in talking to my dad, found that our last name, Gupta, was one that he sort of “picked” when coming to the US.
According to my uncle, they grew up as “Garg”.
It’s a long story… and I’m still not sure [...]
