Okay, five and half weeks in: witching hour is a real thing and the best remedy is a warm bath, a baby carrier, and a brisk walk around the perimeter of our backyard. In that order. Also: no, I haven't slept for more than 3 hours in a row. Yet.

After buying every known breastfeeding pillow ever made, some thoughts: 1) Brest Friend is amazing but not comfy. Sacrifice: it's what parenting is all about. 2) Boppy is terrible. 3) Those flat L-shaped ones are a joke. 4) The Neka is cozy af. Love it.

Need some advice of parents with long (tall?) newborns: what swaddles did you use once your babies got too long for the 0-3 ones? Looking for ones with velcro.

Ever get the feeling like you're doing this whole parenting thing... wrong? Timing all of the things a newborn needs in a day is daunting.

My 2-month-old rolled over today. Was it an accident? A fluke? Maybe. Either way, tonight's the first night without the swaddle AFTER last night's epic up-every-30-minutes marathon. Say a little prayer for me and my husband.

Someone asked me today what a contraction feels like. All I could come up with is that for me, it felt like the volcanic center of the earth was rising up into my back and out again, making time a completely immeasurable construct and my physical reality completely untouchable.

I need chocolate every night after I finish putting the baby to bed. It is one of the strongest urges I have ever had. Do with that what you will.

My soul friend, Gillian Leigh Sonin makes others feel deeply & wholly understood; she is a light in the world, & she often articulates things better than I ever could. ✨ This is that ✨ I present to you, the apology OSHEAGA/TYRON owe to the Jewish community. Do not settle for less.
