In a similar boat.

Our first was born this past June, and while it hasn't been easy—FYI TO ANYONE READING, BABIES ARE A LOT OF WORK—I feel like this pandemic couldn't have come at a better time, if it had to come at all.

There will be a point soon, I'm sure, where I may start to feel he's missing out on building relationships with other toddlers and trusted adults. But for now, all things considered, we can't really complain.

I was frequently reminded as a kid how much trouble kids are, so I was totally ready for that when I became a parent. What I was not ready for was how shockingly fun and beautiful the whole process has been.

Babies can also be a ton of money. My kid developed a condition which will pretty much lead to me hitting max out of pocket every year on the medical insurance.

I have multiple kids like that, and after more than two decades of being a parent I still love every damn day of it.
