Setbacks

I spent most of the night fighting cramps that felt worst than labour and kidney stones combined. Considered going to the hospital but wondered what I would do with the kids. So I spent the day quietly with a hot water bottle and Henri. We had a long afternoon nap, and I felt a bit better.

There are two moments that happen everyday. The first is usually around 5 or 6, when the kids are tired and hungry, and I’m tired and need a break. At that moment, I feel like I won’t make it to bedtime. But it’s like swimming: you face a wall, and keep going. And then both kids are asleep, and the second moment happens: you have two kids sleeping at the same time, it must b magic.
