so with just a little over two weeks in to this motherhood gig i can attest to the following ultimates: i am the happiest, the sleepiest, the most-frightened, most crazy in love {with baby, husband, + beasts,} and the most fulfilled of my entire life.
we’re on the every three-hour feed schedule which really means i am awake every TWO hours so i can feed, burp, pump, and think irrational, paralyzing thoughts.
hunkiest and i ditched all of our pre-natal classes for grilled cheese sandwiches and truffle fries at eat chow; so much of this has been on-the-job training.
google is our bitch.
she’s helped me find the best foods for breast milk production {oatmeal,} and coached me on how to install a car seat without getting a divorce {let the wife do it.}
here are a few other google searches in my caché:

You are hilarious. 🙂 Hang in there — you’ll get caught up on sleep in couple years. Love the doggy night nurse idea.
a couple of years!??! aaaaah!!! i feel so bad complaining—you’re the one with twins!??!
Complain away!! Not getting enough sleep sucks no matter how many babies are crying! And I remember I used to get so hungry in the middle of the night, I used to keep a box of granola bars by the rocker in their nursery so I could snack. Snacks always make me feel a little happier. 🙂
I am so over the moon for your sweet family!
aw..thank you ari…we are beyond happy. love to you.
