I’m A Mom!

October 27, 2011   Junie Cleaver   No comments

At 8:28 pm last night, I gave birth to a happy, healthy, humongous baby boy. He weighed in at 9 lbs, 7 oz, measured 22 inches in length, and scored a 9 on his Apgar tests. Kiddo is a tank – eating voraciously and wearing the 6 month onesies instead of newborn size clothing. I never understood what love at first sight meant – until now. I am utterly, completely, totally in love with this little bundle, and I cannot describe the many sensations that come with new motherhood – from the feeling you get the first time baby nuzzles in close and you realize that he’s completely trusting of you and counting on you to keep him, to the feeling you get the first time he opens his tiny little eyes and you get to meet, face-to-face, that tiny little stranger who’s been kicking inside you for 9 months.

South Florida Eats: Racks Downtown Eatery, Boca Raton

October 22, 2011   Junie Cleaver   No comments

Racks Downtown Eatery in Mizner Park had the potential to be a great hidden gem in Boca Raton, and I was looking forward to writing a great review of the restaurant. From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted by a happy, friendly hostess and a clean, modern-looking restaurant with raw bar, pizza oven and indoor/outdoor bar that was quickly filling up for what I later found was Happy Hour.

For those who aren’t aware, I’m less than a week away from “D-Day” and my son’s arrival, so I look like I’m carrying a soccer ball around my waist when I do motivate myself to get dressed and venture out into the South Florida heat and humidity to get a bite to eat (the poor hubby has been tasked with more deliver orders than I care to outline in the past month). I’m also dealing with the myriad of late-pregnancy pains that moms-to-be look forward to: back pain, swollen joints, and general aches. This is all important to my overall restaurant impression, which is why I spell it out up front.
