Kel, chai and cupcakes sounds incredible! What a great time of year to snuggle in and munch on tasty treats. So glad to hear you're both doing well! Finally got DS to fall asleep in his ring sling (though it involved letting him nurse...

Thinking of all you January mamas! Wonder if we'll have any New Year's Eve babies... I still can't believe that I have a 19-day-old! I really thought I'd go over my dd. So blessed to start the year off with my little one!
