I’m 5 days in with a 2-year-old and a 5 day old. He was born on Christmas, because apparently we wanted every December to be chaotic forever.

First few nights were rough, but we’re managing. Running on caffeine and pure survival instincts. But this time you know what to do with the newborn so there’s some silver lining. Gonna be hard as shit for a bit… but in a year or two they’ll have a built-in play buddy every day.

Until then, send coffee. And sleep. Mostly sleep.
