    I’ve heard that sometimes when you push a baby out, your brain comes out with the baby. I’m here to tell you that it’s true. It happened to me.

    When I was pregnant, I was an indefatigable task master, hell-bent on accomplishing every item of business before the baby arrived. Car registration completed 2 months in advance? Check. Property taxes paid 3 months before they were due? Yep. Enough hand soap stockpiled to last us until the baby’s 7th birthday? Youuu betcha.

    The goal was to take care of everything so that, once Eleanora arrived, I could focus just on her. I was preparing for life to slow down, to be suspended in this magical, albeit sleepless, bubble of time. It’s a beautiful idea, isn’t it?

    My mistake, however, was thinking my life would slow down. Haha.

    HAHAHA.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
