I meant these comments for the post below about meeting Annabelle Gurwitch. Sorry! I need more sleep, am I allowed to pull the mother card on this one?

It doesn’t always go so well, by the way. I see Richard Kind all the time too and I went up to him with my adorable child on my hip, thinking that would keep me safe from appearing a crazy stalker fan and I told him I had always dreamed of living in NYC all on account of Mad About You and it was very awkward. I blame him. He was nice, but what could he say? Oy. He said something like “And now you have a daughter.” Um, yes, how very not to the point. Now when I see him we cross the street so he doesn’t feel put upon. He’ll probably move.

And now I am laughing and crying. What an adorable and well-written happy story. It’s terrifying to meet your idols. I see Samantha Bee all the time in the neighborhood and her dreamy happy writing about being a parent got me through an agonizing pregnancy so I finally went up to her one time and she had that panicked look but I soldiered on and said “Look, I like you on the Daily Show, love you and all that but your parent -writing melted my nauseated, depressed heart during pregnancy so I have to thank you for that.” She said, “Oh! You touched my heart!” And I chose to believe her. Fun fact: she grocery shops in pink pumps. I saw her do it once. I am not a stalker, she really is just always in my neighborhood. Obviously it is her neighborhood too (thrilling!) Anyway, I love this post. Can’t wait to read more! I am Columbia grad too, by the way!

Hey, it’s the first post of this blog that I’ve read and it’s awesome. After reading the bio my first thought was, well, of cours the story of the live of sophie will be so interesting to read (especially as I want to become pregnant and my husband and I have talked about down syndrom recently), but what about annabelle (like: do they both get the attention, because this is kind of hard to accomplish, isn’t it). And here the first post I read is about her. You must be such a great mum, your post is so full of love (for both kids) and I look forward to reading your posts! Happy birthday to Annabelle and all the best for your family!
Greetings,
Viki

Wow. This is so awesome! Tell Annabelle that on her birthday (which was a crazy day for us in so many ways) that Sarah and I also chased my brother’s dog named Ernie down the street ( he hardly knows us) and also locked our selves out of my brothers house. And you know the rest of my day. It was a fun crazy day and we thought of Annabelle several times. We love her!!!!!
