Guess who it is...

Baby Wiss is a GIRL! Here are a few photos of what she's been up to in utero.

Here she is raising the roof to get a little more room:


Mission accomplished a few minutes later, she's laid back, chilling with her feet up. Atta girl.


I hope you're as excited as we are about bringing what will inevitably be another brilliant, high-maintenance lady into the world. I'll post a belly pic very soon. I've just started to "pop" as, apparently, those in the pregnant world say. However, more pressing is the huge New Year's Eve dinner at Ruth's Chris that awaits, so additional photos will come later. Happy New Year, everyone. 2010 is going to be a good one!

It's Baby Wiss!

"Hi, everybody! I'll see you June 15." 

We're reviving this blog. And it's about to get exciting!

Another January Milestone

Yet another life changing event occurred in our lives this month...Nick turned 30! 

To ring in his 30th year, we spent the day in New Orleans after a huge birthday breakfast at home (a pile of homemade mixed berry pancakes made by yours truly). We checked out the New Orleans Museum of Art in City Park (a work of art in itself), which houses an extremely varied, but interesting collection.

We took a walk on the Riverwalk along the Mississippi, had coffee and beignets at Cafe Du Monde (more on that later),

 

then tried a new tapas restaurant, Rambla, at the International House Hotel before heading home in a torrential downpour (characteristic of many of our NoLa date nights). The most memorable part of the night, you ask? Instead of choosing a dessert for additional birthday candles, Nick wanted one more course of tapas. The waitress was then kind enough to place a candle into Nick's steak tartare. Classic.

Happy Birthday, sweet man. Here's to the next 30. 

It's a Beautiful Day.

I'm still too awestruck at the historical significance of yesterday to write anything worthy of being coined 'commentary' on the day's events. I will just say that I was absolutely covered in goosebumps all day and got chills at the start of each new celebration. 

I stole some quality company time to watch streaming video of President Obama's swearing in and inaugural address at my desk (Digital Wissler), and it was worth every penny. Congratulations, President Obama. Here's to an attempt to reunite our country.
