I wasn’t laughing at the time, but now when I think back to those first few weeks…okay months…well maybe the first full year after having our son, I have to laugh because we were the definition of a hot mess express. A memory that really makes me giggle is the amount of “panic orders” we would place on Amazon. You know…those 3 o’clock in the morning…baby is not sleeping and all you can do is search for ways to fix whatever predicament you’re in or create a new anxiety ridden Google rabbit hole. So, I decided to go back into my Amazon account and compile everything we ordered in the first month after baby was born. And I ordered a lot more nipple related items than I thought! LOL. Have a read and let me know if you have any funny ones to add!
