But I have to share that Vanessa seems always so composed, with a bit of a spring in her step, and always, always ready to smile and chat (even if in a brief-quick-in-the-passing kind of a way). Keep up with those short moments of time when you can write (you obviously have a neck for it) as babies will grow...they will soon feed themselves (because they know what they want and don't want) and toilet will fill more than one purpose...like hiding from chores, or avoiding the other sibling, or reading a book (read: watching mind-craft videos). And you will have more time for your bursts of creativity to land on the paper, and they will be proud of their mama for all she has accomplished. So, sending you love and encouragement.
