Baby's first year photo shoot is next week and I've already taken 400 prep photos. My phone is basically a shrine at this point.

Public transit was packed this morning. Nothing like standing room only with a stroller to test your patience levels.

It's been 11 months and I still can't believe this tiny person is real. Also I can't remember what day it is. Fair trade? #babybureau

Daycare group chat is my second home at this point. Nothing bonds people like comparing diaper blowout stories.

why does having a baby make you suddenly care about EVERYTHING? started a spreadsheet for sleep schedules. Send help.

commute this morning was somehow worse than yesterday and I didn't think that was physically possible. manifesting warmer weather and empty highways 🙏

The kid rolled over today without me asking it to. Do I call my mom? Do I update the baby book? Do I just sit here amazed at this tiny human?

February weather where it's 35 degrees and feels like it could snow or be spring at any moment. Wear three layers and pray.

Baby just said 'dada' for the first time and my partner won't stop replaying the video. I get it, it's adorable, but also PLEASE let me sleep.

my audiobook narrator has a calming voice and honestly I think I've been using my commute as free therapy. is that allowed?

The daycare called because my kid had a 'situation' with finger paint. Not asking questions. Just grateful it wasn't worse. #parentlife

First crocus spotted in the yard this morning and I may have cried a little. Winter you can leave now.

Traffic was so backed up I listened to an entire podcast episode about organizing kitchen cabinets. Now I'm weirdly motivated to reorganize ours.

Groundhog Day joke: my sleep schedule has its own groundhog and it keeps predicting six more weeks of 3am wake-ups. 😅

Valentine's Day with a baby is just me and my partner taking turns eating cold dinner while the kid screams. Romance isn't dead, it's just asleep in the bassinet.

Only three weeks until it's warmer and I can stop driving like I'm defusing a bomb. Manifesting it.

My kid's milestone photos are getting ridiculously out of hand but I regret nothing. #babybureau

Traffic so bad this morning I finished my entire audiobook and started a new one. Silver linings?

The identity shift is REAL. I used to be someone. Now I'm 'the parent who picks up at 5:30.' 😅

Crocuses are popping up and I'm out here taking pictures like it's breaking news. Spring fever hitting early.
