Nights and Days Backwards

“The New One” (yes. still no name) has got her nights and days backwards. Yeah, it’s common for babies, but it wasn’t so bad with Abigail. The real problem is she’s not happy about it.

The midwife (Julie I think) mixed up a McDonald’s Chocolate Castor Oil shake (you won’t find it on their menu). And Jen downed it. Besides a little brain freeze, things went smoothly (no pun intended). Wanna hear […]
