I feel like my life is a high-speed train right now, barely pausing to take a breather. I suppose parenthood will feel that way. I mean, yes there are moments that feel never-ending. Like the 30 minutes before bedtime when Carter barely napped at daycare and I can't set him down but yet he tries to wiggle out of my arms and nothing will appease him? Those minutes are looooong.

One night a few weeks ago we found him sleeping on his stomach, and every night since he starts on his side and ends up fairly quickly on his belly.
