We’re not doing photos of her on social, but my little daughter Eve was born healthy and strong and, frankly, not so little. Eating and pooping nonstop. I’m obsessed with her. I knew parents always said it was unlike anything else and I brushed that off as hyperbole until that first moment I heard her cry last night. 

Her mother is recovering well. I’m very exhausted but thankfully we’re on the Upper East Side and there was a bagel place with excellent lox open at 6 this morning when I stumbled out to gather our first real meal in more than day.
