Somewhere in the newborn haze, my husband and I realized our entire conversations revolved around logistics and who was doing "more or less" - bottles, diapers, who slept less. Not exactly the stuff of a great love story. It was also, apparently, extremely normal, and honestly, a pretty good sign we were doing the hard part right, even if the romance had taken a temporary backseat to align for this new stage of life.

Toddlers Need Structure, Not a Strict Clock Toddlers thrive on predictability. But predictability doesn't mean

The books... oh how I wish I could have thrown out most of the books that set unrealistic timelines and expectations. Nobody really prepares you for the actual experience of the newborn stage - the parts that are disorienting, the parts that are lonelier than expected, the parts that are better than expected, and the parts that pass faster than you think while you're in the middle of them.

Hi, I'm so glad you're here.
