Alt. title- “When in doubt, pee.”

admin-ajax (2) Always pee.

When you wake up, pee.

When baby goes down for a nap, pee.

Every free second you have, every time you think of it… pee.

Because you will inevitably forget, and then the baby will fall asleep on you for the first time all day, and you will get stuck, and have to somehow extricate yourself from a 6 month old who somehow weighs 800 pounds and will startle at a pin drop…so you will sit, and squirm, because you will HAVE TO PEE SO BAD.

And then the baby will sleep for 2 hours.

Do yourself a favor, always pee.

Alt. title- “Let’s talk about unwanted bodily fluids.”

So, you spend 10 months growing a human being inside your body.

You ache, you pee, you have weird growths and skin tags and unwanted hair, you fart …just….all the time.

You think, this is it, this is the worst part.  After the baby comes, everything will go back to normal.

Then the baby comes.

Thing to Love Hard: Hutton + Grey

I am currently crushing hard on Hutton + Grey’s handmade burp cloths.  

I’m been obsessively minimal with baby things, and stuck with really neutral colors and prints for most of my babe’s stuff, but these are just too cute.

I get compliments on them constantly, they’re super soft and absorbent, and they fold up really small which makes them very portable.  I’ve been traveling for the past two weeks and these are the only ones we brought!

My old roommate Tracey, wonderful mama to 15 month old twins (eek!), founded this company with two other mama friends.

I can barely find time to write this post, so I’m extremely impressed with starting a business while chasing tiny humans.

They also have the cutest bloomers, which I haven’t tried because we cloth diaper so I already have a million covers, but check out their adorable patterns at www.huttonandgrey.com and follow them on Instagram at @huttonandgrey
