By new life I mean completely sleep deprived while working on getting baby Adaline on a bedtime routine! I was so excited when her lil’ umbilical cord fell off because she could finally have a bath. Which meant we could finally start a bedtime routine for her. She wasn’t sleeping through the night before, with on and off feedings whenever she woke up which was quite often.
