A couple of weeks ago Cora woke up at 3:30 am. I’m finally far enough away from the 3:30 am wake up call that I can write about it.
She was extra tired that morning of course. So at 6:45 she decided to nurse and quickly fell asleep in my arms and [...]

what would possibly make someone think…..

that it is ok to run down the middle of a relatively busy residential street, with two dogs on a leash, and headphones on?

it will make a mother’s heart skip at least one beat

I am on a laundry mission today. You know how it piles up without you even knowing it? That is where it was this morning in our house. The laundry basket was overflowing. So I was taking the towels out of the dryer and putting a new load in the washer [...]

She took right to the puppets. She walked closer and closer to the [...]

exhaustion is winning out

So tired. Must go to sleep.
I forgot how tired you get when you are pregnant! I’m exhausted. I need to go to bed and it’s 8:30!
