  5. Congratulations Kat!! Enjoy this time with your sweet baby. It goes by so, so quickly.

  11. Congratulations, Kat! I appreciate the irony of posting the Penelope Trunk article at the top of the post and your baby news at the bottom of the post, proving Penelope wrong about over-achieving chicks being able to have it all. You’re an inspiration and I’m so glad to have this community of women that you’ve put so much work into creating and maintaining. Best wishes for your new family!

  31. Congrats and welcome to mommyhood! In Japan they sometimes call the first weeks of motherhood a “rosy hell”- I wish you more rosy and less hell!! :)
