Howdy y’all! I just wanted to tip you off to a guest blog post I wrote entitled “Of Infants and Insanity: Getting Comfy With Chaos” that just went live on the Feedin’ Mom website under “Mom Tips.” In case you don’t know about Feedin’ Mom, it’s a wonderful resource for friends of new mothers to coordinate meal deliveries to her and her family. Best of all? It’s absolutely free. My friends used this site to arrange meals for our family when I had Seabass, and I’m currently using it for another friend who is due in April. Check it out!
Also be sure to check out the other posts on the site, whose titles include, “Parent-Hole,” “Diaper Rash Trick” and “What’s that smell?” Ah, gotta love it.
I am Jaime, wife to Jacob. We are the smitten, stupefied, sometimes scared silly parents of a precious boy nicknamed Seabass and a darling girl nicknamed Sweet Chuck.

On your point about being able to go to the grocery store without anxiety – that anxiety comes back once you’ve hit toddlerhood. You thought newborn crying was embarrassing…wait until there is a on-the-floor, arms thrashing, legs kicking tantrum because you told your child that we aren’t buying the tub of ricotta cheese to which they have apparently become very attached.
Ah. Good to know.
