Do NOT make the common mistake of cavalierly jaunting off to Amsterdam or Bali.

Among all your other sound investments, I hope you love your baby carrier as much as we have the two we ended up getting. They're pretty amazing, even if they are just a single piece long of cloth that you could have probably made on your own. If you haven't already invested in some sort of white noise maker, definitely worth it. And even if he does try to cut me every time I turn my back, I still only deal with having him sleep in another room by basically being attached to the baby monitor. Hope you two are holding up well under sleep deprivation and all the hormone craziness! Your posts definitely send me flashing back to those first harried weeks.

Feed them. Love them. Make sure they sleep. Make sure YOU sleep. The rest will come when it comes. Well done!

SO GOOD! Again, I must say that I feel as if I've known you my entire life. Also, congratulations on becoming reacquainted with your toenails. I am also becoming reacquainted with mine, but mostly because I live in Beachland, and other people see my feet now, so I feel obligated to groom them occasionally. TWIN PEAKS! SO GOOD!
