Use Your Instincts

When Mollie Pier had Carrie and I over for brunch about a month ago, I let David Silverstein talk to her about a problem he was having with his father. But I was curious if Mollie had any advice for Carrie and me, as we're due to have a baby April 2nd and we'll take any help we can get.

We're off to Hawaii tomorrow for what I imagine will be our last vacation together for awhile. Unlike other vacations, though, this one already feels different. Carrie's got her maternity bathing suit ready--we're convinced that there's almost no buzz kill worse than seeing a pregnant chick laying out on the beach--and my vacation book is The Baby Whisperer Solves All Your Problems (She better!). We were cool once--we swear! We don't even have a kid yet and we're already going to be "that" couple on the beach. You know--the couple who uses the strongest sunblock on the market, screams at each other for forgetting the sandwiches, and asks the youngsters next to them to "please throw the Frisbee somewhere else because it's getting dangerously close to hitting us." Hopefully this kid of ours will be pretty hip because I'm guessing we'll need the help.
