That moment when you take a picture of the angelic sleeping baby and five minutes later they wake themselves up by barfing all over.
thanks so much y'all! just received $20!
no specific goal in mind but $1k would be phenomenal and give some real breathing room... the overlimits alone are $530, and fortunately don't have any penalties beyond the exorbitant interest rates. but they do affect my credit, which made it harder for us to get an apartment.
Update: NEED MET! Legal fundraiser still going
Thanks so much for the help!

Night 2 at home w baby and @nullagent is taking primary caregiver duty while I get some rest. It's the most sleep I've gotten all week, even though I'm still waking up every 2-3 hrs to breastfeed and take my painkillers.
I'm engorged as hell + feeling the stitches from two first-degree tears, but god, sleep is incredible.
Not sure who needs this but here are 20 hours of lullaby versions of great songs to help settle your babies:

I said I was writing this and here it is:
Information for new parents is a f**king mess | Drowning In Multimedia

Currently working on a personal blog post about the s**t show it has been trying to access useful and safe information about nearly anything related to raising a baby.
sleep deprivation is a hell of a drug
Baby is starting solids today
I think it's a bit crazy that there are baby slings/carriers out there that cost over £240. And they don't necessarily look hard-wearing either. Like, they're meant to last for several years of a young child's life.
MFW two of my triplet kids start holding their own bottles.

Okay, baby is attempting first nap in her cot bed, in her own room Hoping she manages to sleep for her usual first nap length.
We're trying to get her napping there so that we can eventually transition nighttime sleep there too.
