The Glamorous Wind-Up
From the superhero multitasks of tiny humans to the endless cycle of joy, tears, and terribly hilarious moments, the first few months go by in a flash of lights and a fog of cuteness. Was it rough? Yes. Worth it? Double-yes! As you navigate this exciting new chapter, embrace every part of this new life—even when your greatest semblance of “me time” is a shower.
