One of those nights when the baby wakes you every hour, your nipples hurt like hell, and you can't get back to sleep after 5 am...

...and, some version of those nights is every night...

...someday we shall sleep again

Wowww! We have been struggling with the costs of a restrictive diet since the baby has food intolerances and I'm #chestfeeding. Last month, several ppl used my referral link for Thrive Market and I just got the kickback! I was able to spend $120 on staples when we're 9 days away from EBT reloading.

Omfg I can't believe I found these at the food bank!! Dairy-free alternatives can be SO expensive... on top of the ridiculous costs of food right now

Local food banks have had to implement appointment systems because they get so many attendees. I actually set up today's appointment weeks ago. So grateful to have these resources + the excellent finds that turn up now and then!

Going dairy-free for baby has been challenging but so worth it for their health + happiness

don't you love when you wake up to feed the baby for the fourth or fifth time in the night and realize that you smell like sour milk because you've been wearing the same nursing pads since yesterday morning?

no? just me?

Added a few more items to our registry. Here are some that would be especially helpful (marked as "must have"/"still needed" if you use the list filters):

1. Baby bathtub

2. Himalayan salt lamp

3. More nursing bras

Thanks y'all! All of your gifts and support have been immensely helpful during this wild and lovely and intense life transition.
