We’re always up for getting to know the Cool Readers better. As you probably figured, the name Are We Still Cool? refers to us wondering if we are still cool after having a baby. After telling folks that we were pregnant, it seemed like we kept hearing things like
- Oh, do all the [insert fun activity that non-parents do] while you can!
- Oh, so you guys are settling down?
- Oh, your life is completely and utterly over. (maybe I misheard this one)

In spite of the mounting case against us, we wanted to stay cool as new parents, so we started a blog about it.
