Tiny Glimpse
3:30 a.m. Feeding time. Chase, eating even slower than usual. Fussy, unable to burp. Sweet, tiny body writhing in my arms.
Being a parent must be tough. I did my first overnight feeding and I am wiped out. There is something so surreal about feeding one baby, staying up with the baby until after midnight then getting up with a different baby a few hours later, feeding that baby and staying up with tiny baby till he falls asleep. You know, I loved it though. One night I can handle. Tonight’s going to be rough, I can tell. Even when you do sleep you can’t help but think “Did I change baby’s diaper, did baby need it? Is baby sleeping in an uncomfortable mess of his own making right now?” I don’t know if I’ll ever find a man…someone to share my life with, the joys of children. But if I do, darn-it…by the time the triplets are 6 months old I will have received some of the best training and preparation a girl can get.

woman you are getting real life experience, there is nothing quite like being in the trenches (except for bootcamp) literally, I don't know anything that is more physically or emotionally trying than an infant in the first couple of months.
You are a saint!!
