She's making milestones, eating better, and we have a routine (as much as a 6 week old baby can have a routine). We are planning things on the calendar from baby dedications, dad's knee surgery, and visits to family in Michigan and Chicago. I have my inventory of diapers, wipes, and formula. But like my usual self, I needed an extra pat on the back of assurance. I know it's just a dumb commercial, but my eyes welled up... It was what I needed, so I thought I would share it with my mommy friends:
