So, remember how, a week or so ago, I was all "My cousins don't know how to use condoms?" Well, I'll let you in on a little secret. I am glad. Why, you ask? Please see above. This is my cousin with his newborn daughter who, at three days, is already a better dresser than I am (note the barrette, complete with ribbon and bow, and classily striped blanket). Her mother, aka my cousin's wife, is the ultimate multi-tasker. Not only does she have an MBA, she is currently in her third year of law school. Conveniently enough for her new daughter, she is also on Spring Break. She's the kind of person I imagine hops out of bed for a power-walk and a protein shake, then somehow styles her hair perfectly in under ten minutes. She will study for the Bar Exam this summer while rocking her daughter to sleep, and I imagine Cousin himself will have New Daughter out on the golf course when the weekend rolls around. But seriously, isn't she oh-so-adorable? We are a good-looking lot, says I, and good-looking lots have no use for condoms.
Melissa, she's beautiful! That's one pretty baby. Your assessment of the new mom is totally on par with mine. I'd say there's nothing she can't do competently.
