I had thought about creating another tumblr for baby related stuff because I didn’t want to bombard y’all with baby baby baby, but right now this is my life. It’s all-consuming and rich and maddening and 100% powered by biology, which is why parents of infants are so insufferable. We cannot help but be infatuated with our young, lest we eat them or abandon them. I don’t really know how to tune my brain onto another station other than “baby” and right now I don’t need to do anything else. I need to be consumed by this, to experience it in its richness and its misery. I have my whole life to get back to being myself minus this kid, but right now he needs me wholly, and I need to be wholly invested because there’s nothing else that matters more right this second.
