1. Our baby now comes in “chunk style,” thanks to my abundant milk supply.
2. Our family’s inaugural visit to the ER (aren’t we blessed that this was a first for us?) went smoothly, and our toddler’s boo-boo is healing well.
3.We’ve survived several tough weeks where Daddy has been MIA. My husband has been working heinous hours, was out of town for a week, and has had only one full weekend off since the baby’s birth in early April. But starting today he’ll be spending several days with us, and I’m not going to take his presence for granted. Oh, and I’ll try not to take advantage of him too much (actually, he’s ready and willing to spend some time with his long-lost daughters!), but I am planning on squeezing in more shut-eye since I’ll have somebody on deck. If only Moms occasionally got post-call days…

Great job! I find it difficult when my husband works more than a few late nights, let alone is out of town for a few days. Congratulations on hanging in there.
BTW, I read your piece at Phases of Womanhood–courageous and thought provoking. The way we talk about and treat our bodies/eating has a huge influence on our children, especially our daughters.
I second the petition, we moms should definitely get post-call days. Great list, enjoy your fortified family tme.
That's tough on both of you having such little time expecially with a newborn baby. But God gives us strength to endure, and you seem to be doing well – God Bless you …. and may He send His Angels to help you and peace to help you ride through these times.
