Ah, life with a newborn again. It’s actually not so bad this time around since Kaylie is an easier baby than Ellie was. Still, I miss the days when I could sleep more than an hour at night.

It wasn’t until Melissa mentioned to me that she’s never actually heard the entire event and would like me to write about it that I gave it some thought. Now it’s been 4 months since her birth but I can still remember the day she was born pretty clearly. For me, giving birth was a very traumatic event. I think it has to do a lot with the fact that so manyRead More →
