  1. This is so perfect. When my head lolls back and I close my eyes just like you I’m fantasizing about a business trip and fresh sheets on a hotel bed and our past life and getting good and drunk and sexy clothes and sexy ANYTHING …. and then he burps on the boob, one of those PFFFFT burps that sneaks out the side of his lip…. and I think it couldn’t possibly get any better than this, this exhaustion and mind-numb and trapped-inside-the-house, right now, with this boy.

  10. These two pictures take me back to my births in a huge way… The endless work and PAIN and almost unbearable exhaustion. I haven’t yet but these pics make me want to get my birth stories in words - they bring my memories back so clearly. I don’t ever want to forget… even though at the time, I thought I was going to die. But strangely, if I could go back and do it all over again, I think I would - ok, in theory… For you who has given birh so recently, you must be thinking I am a crazy person, but hey, it’s been two and half years… Hope you and the girls are still flying high on dried placenta and new baby love - April
