A Sunday giggle to end the week. Thankfully I’ve never met a bad baby!

We need to talk about the “is he a good baby?” question.

Because somewhere along the way, “good” became code for sleeps through the night, settles easily, and doesn’t need much. And by that logic, half the most normal newborn behaviour on earth gets quietly filed under “bad.”

So here’s your official guide to telling the difference. On the left, all the things that get a baby unfairly labelled difficult, the night feeds, the contact naps, the 3am parties for one. On the right, actual bad behaviour. The white-collar crime. The tax evasion. The Ponzi schemes.

Notice your baby isn’t on the right side, mama. Wanting you is not a character flaw. It’s just a baby being a baby.

Tag a mama whose “badly behaved” newborn has, to date, a completely spotless criminal record. 🤍

Day trip to Elkins for a quarterly Midwives Alliance of West Virginia meeting! Maureen Farrell with Highland Birth Support hosted those of us that could make it in person. Great to finally meet two of the midwives that I’ve been seeing on Zoom for the last two years. After the meeting we went downtown and enjoyed the Ramp and Railways fest.

Such a fun afternoon with my sister. She tagged along while I did a prenatal and then we hiked a nice mile, chatted and enjoyed the views. Thankful for a beautiful day.

Fun fact, Rachel’s youngest was my first catch almost 11 years ago!
