      it's fine. Sorry to come off as harsh. I just get that question A LOT from strangers, friends, etc and it bugs me. I still have an immobile baby in my arms, you know? Anyway, we do want more kids. Right now we're hoping for one more biological and then to adopt when we're older. As with anything, however, that plan is subject to change. :)

      Already answered this one. Plus, I tend to have some beef with this question. My kid is only 5 months old. I plan to let my baby be the baby for a little while. I'm not in a rush, why are others?

      Sylvie has changed are relationship immensely for the better. I love him so much more than I did before, and I am in awe of the kind of father he is. We are not just a couple anymore. We are a family.

      Nope! We like Texas and hate Indiana! Plus Travis if from Texas originally and I've spent a fair amount of time there. My brother and his family live there.

      This is a tough question. I come up with different places (Paris, Spain, Australia), but I'm not sure if I want to live there or just visit. I think Australia would be the only place I could see myself making a home in. The time I spent in Melbourne, though brief, left a lasting impression.

      You are correct on two counts--my daughter is beautiful and my husband is amazing. As for me, I'm just trying to hold it together the best I can, like everybody else. Thank you so much for your kind words. They brightened up my day!

      We're not sure yet. If we do try for a second one, it won't be for 4 or 5 years most likely. We'd like to be a little bit more financially secure first

      Only when she's hungry. If she's uncomfortable (gas, dirty diaper, etc) she just fusses a little.

      Sometimes it seems surreal, but it is mostly the opposite. It is extremely grounding and humbling. We're in awe of her (and each other) too.

      the biggest challenge is the lack of sleep, but that is already improving. :) the biggest surprise is how immense and consuming my love is for her. it was immediate. i thought breast feeding would be harder than it is. it isn't without its challenges, but it is so calming for the both of us.

      thanks!

      yes. i was going to write a post about this. as i wrote on my blog, travis' grandmother passed away about two weeks ago. her middle name was elizabeth and so we chose to honor her memory by passing the name on to our daughter.

      I have 4 tattoos. I have an origami crane on my left shoulder, a personal symbol on my right shoulder, a bouquet of flowers on my back and a circle on my sternum. I can't say how I'll feel 20 years from now, but I don't regret them yet. I don't know if I'll be "happy" I have them per se, but I don't think I'll full out regret them.

      I most look forward to spending time with my daughter and watching her learn and grow everyday. Back when I thought I would be working 20+ hours a week, I literally cried at the thought of missing her first smile, steps, etc. The idea of not working has made everything seem less scary/more manageable.
