We are back!

By the time this posts I will be back at work *cries silently in the corner... and then a little bit louder... until I am sobbing uncontrollably by the copy machine* My tiny girl will be 3 months old on Friday say whaaaaa?

In "celebration" of the end of my maternity leave, please enjoy pictures of my sweet family from like 6 weeks ago (yeah, I'm behind, I get it).

And then we brought Lily in and my children were left motherless because I DIED FROM THE CUTE.

I have so much more to share.

Mom Guilt

Not only do I have to deal with mom guilt in my daily life with two little ones, I am adding to my guilt by not having time to sit down and write a blog post. Mila is 7 weeks old and I am still working on the drafts of her birth story and her one month post! I don't want to miss out on documenting this crazy and special time, but right now I am so busy living and enjoying my demanding family that I rarely have two hands or two seconds to check in here. Right now both girls are asleep (one on my chest) and I'm writing with one hand on my phone! I am officially giving myself a break. I am keeping notes to include in future posts so I don't forget anything, but it is just going to take me a little while to find a balance for everything and make the time to sit down and write. This space here is important to me and deserves my full attention. I'll be back soon.

If you miss us (as you should) we are all up in your instagram face @thecurlycues. Come say hi over there or leave a comment here to feed my need for attention.

*winky face*

No, really.

A Message From Mila

All you babies out there, I have a great trick to play on your moms! First, sleep for like 6 hours straight so that your mom feels all excited like maybe her eye will finally stop twitching. Then, and this is key, once she feeds you and gets you back to sleep, make sure to grunt and squeak as loudly as you can while you sleep for the next two hours. The most effective method is to wait just long enough between grunts that she starts to drift off to sleep and then BAM hit her with another one! Haha, hilarious. Oh and as a bonus, if she tries bringing you into bed after the two hours of grunting in an attempt to get some sleep... just poop everywhere. She might look tired now, but trust me, you guys will laugh about it later.

Place Holder

Please excuse my absence, every time I sit down to write Mila's birth story this happens:
