We're attempting to raise our baby - a boy - for one year on everything borrowed, some things blue. We're hoping to borrow, rent or buy used everything from baby clothes to furniture to diapers. We're first time parents, living in New York City, and hope this little experiment will help us enter parenthood with a bit more awareness and a lot more humility.

Reading is so much fun


The Everything Borrowed Baby really enjoys this used book - borrowed from someone - we can't remember who as it arrived that first week! And here are some more pics from the week.

Happy 7 week Birthday

Pretty amazing day today! (Although the roll-over technically happened in week 5, didn't catch it on camera or with Dad until today)

Long overdue for a real post



We have so much to write about - but no time to write. Here's a link to some new pictures, though, for some of the Everything Borrowed Baby's adoring fans (ie, Grandparents). And although the Great Grandparents don't have internet, here they are enjoying their third Great Grandchild.

MyFirstBaby.com is up and running!


That's right - the much anticipated picture of the EBB's chubby thighs and the premiere of the reality tv/webisode show - with some clips of us - My First Baby!

Here's a link to our profile and some links to our videos:

Here we are in the intro (we're just in a little clip); and here we are introducing ourselves.

Here I am (very pregnant) talking about maternity wear and also doing a little yoga.

Here's Danny talking about being a Daddy and me talking about sleep (don't I look tired...)

Us giving props to Graco talking about their awesome travel system and talking about our alternative registry with a strategically placed postpartum belly hiding plant!

So, say that you like our videos - and maybe our everything borrowed concept will catch on!

Also, before I forget - here's a link to some new pics.

Sport'n lots of borrowed items




Check out some new pics of the Everything Borrowed Baby sport'n lots of borrowed items in week 3, including:
- lots of Zachary's old blankets and clothes
- Eliana's kamono shirt (which was a huge asset during the troublesome first few days on cloth diapers...
- Ollie and Noah's awesome blue baby carrier
- the "big pants" look thanks to diaperkind's cloth diapers and Lalo's old froggy diaper covers
- and his bath brought to you via Ella's super cool temperature testing, water level monitoring, fit right in the kitchen sink bathtub.

Thanks guys!
