I’ll be the first to admit—I was nervous about having another baby. I had so many concerns: how would another baby affect our current easy, breezy family dynamic? And how in the world could...

Madeline’s sleeping habits are stabilizing, becoming a lot more predictable. Three nights in a row she has given us four hour stretches of sleep. We’re also better able to predict her poops: basically every...
