Meet our big surprise - Sophie Lyons Herrmann - born today, October 16th, at Mount Sinai hospital. She’s a tiny thing at 4 pounds, 12 ounces but totally healthy and “vigorous,” going home with us soon. She’s named for Alex’s beloved grandmother and she and I share a middle name - Lyons is a family name of mine. Like most deliveries, hers was a bit crazy and scary and wonderful - and totally unexpected, four weeks early! Still wrapping my head around that feeling of a 3am cab ride up the FDR with zero traffic, exiting onto a dark, blustery Central Park and cold October-y morning, and finding out we’d meet her today. Also, I knew it from the first ultrasound - I gave birth to a mini Alex. 😂 You are so, so loved baby girl. Our world is forever changed.
He wanted red-sauce, old-school Italian for his birthday. So we came to Bamonte’s, open since 1900 in Williamsburg, complete with original chandeliers and tuxedo’d waiters. #october12 #lovehim #nesting
New York is the best place in the world to sit like a bird incubating her chicks and await your baby’s arrival, equally magical and stressy. #october
Perks of a ridiculous number of doctor appointments on Madison Avenue.
For anyone who has said “you don’t look pregnant!” I present to you - THE BEAST BELLY. The dress is two sizes up, so I hope there is a good reason for it!! 😂 We are crazy for planning this wedding 7 weeks before she is due but #life!! And WE LOVE YOU, BABY!!! 📷: @jennifermaerz #switzsimmons #shefoundherrmann #fitznau
Loved our tables! Simple + seasonal with the most amazing view. #switzsimmons #shefoundherrmann #fitznau 📷: @jennifermaerz
The alphorns played right after we read our vows and then the guests could try themselves (HARDER THAN IT LOOKS!) #switzsimmons #shefoundherrmann #fitznau 📷: @jennifermaerz
When your dad surprises you with 40 t-shirts 😂 (the plus is the baby) #switzsimmons
Sunday in Central Park before we go to Switzerland. (Well, not him this time.)
The BEST surprise!!!!! Thank you to the most wonderful @dsfez @xtinariggio @elizabarnyc and incredible humans who braved NYC’s 98% humidity to celebrate our baby girl + wedding. Started at E.A.T., ended at @elisnightshift (thank you @olivertweest!).
Reminded (again) tonight why I love NYC so much. Finally made it here tonight! ChikaLicious Dessert Bar in the East Village is named for the owner, Chika, who works with such grace and precision on these insanely delicious but light and airy desserts. Like Jiro-meets-dessert. There’s champagne with raspberry ice cubes, wine, tea, coffee, and a general jazzy, fresh vibe. It’s been open since 2003, and now they have outposts all over Asia. But it still feels so perfectly New York. And get the “cheese cake.”
Three souls on a beloved beach, seasons changing, EVERYTHING changing. 😳 thank you @xtinariggio for time standing still in the most beautiful place.
