Mark and I have been so sleep-deprived with a newborn, both working from home and taking shifts around the clock with feedings.
Mark and I have been so sleep-deprived with a newborn, both working from home and taking shifts around the clock with feedings. But seeing Mark's face light up whenever he holds our daughter reminds me why all the late nights are worth it. With a new baby, we knew this anniversary had to be extra low-key. I arranged for Mark's mom to come stay with us and watch Emma for the weekend so Mark and I could have some precious couple time, even if it was just a quiet night in together. Between feedings and diapers, I don't know that Mark and I have had more than 5 minutes to ourselves since Emma arrived. So it was nice to unwind side by side, watching a movie together on the couch like we used to before our lives became so busy. As tiring as parenthood is, moments like these make the last few months feel so rewarding. I'm so grateful to Mark for the family we're building together.
