Last night might have been the first night in a month I’ve gotten a little over three hours of sleep straight, it felt good for a minute waking up at 2 AM to feed the baby until after that everything was a mess. I’m not sure the baby actually went to sleep for the restContinue reading “Juggling Babies, Tantrums, and Small Wins”
