Getting into the Groove
Aug 7, 2009 | Filed Under: Candy's Column | Tags: Skylar
Hard to believe, but today marks Skylar’s ninth day in this crazy world of ours (don’t worry, Skye — they say nine days is the new two days!), and I’m happy to report things are going more smoothly than expected with the little one. Yeah, yeah, I know… for now. Baby Girl has a sweet temperament and — HALLELUJAH — slept for four hours in a row last night (she’s been quite the night owl/party girl, just like her mama in her college days), so I feel like a semblance of a human being again. Which is more than Lindsay Lohan can say, even on her good days.
Big news: We took our first family walk this afternoon — Yes! Outside! In the light! With other human beings! — and introduced to Skylar to her new second home, Chez Starbucks. She seemed to take to the place, immediately ordering a triple espresso.
Hey, don’t look at me like that. She needed something to complement her morning pack of Marlboro Reds.
Thanks for bearing with my lighter posting schedule lately. I hope to start posting more next week, at which point I’ll have mastered the art of feeding the baby with one hand, petting the cats with the other, and typing with my toes. I have MUCH to discuss with y’all, including my last-minute decision to breastfeed and why our birth announcements probably won’t go out until Skylar is about ready for college.
Hugs, kisses and endless dirty diapers,
Candy

Hi Candy, it’s been 9 days since your new baby arrived. Now you have two months to get in shape for your Star Magazine photo shoot. We’ll all want to know how you lost your baby weight in a miraculously ridiculously short amount of time! Get cracking, the Heidi Klums and Jessica Albas of the world are watching you!!!!
