i sometimes wake up in the middle of the night feeling like i MUST have a cup of OJ, or milk. i can't just let it go, either. it's like a pregnancy craving but i'm usually not pregnant lol

we tried to sidecar the crib but there was too much of a height difference and i didn't see how to safely fix it. i wasn't actually planning to need it lol but it would have come in handy in this situation, maybe! she seems to enjoy...
