Chapter Seven

Every item of clothing we own is covered in spit up or urine or explosive baby poop. The house smells of dirty diapers and Marian have no clean underwear. They haven't slept through the night in years. The other day, she hired a babysitter so she could take a nap. They missed the Irish twin cutoff by 2 months, and she's thinking that they should put this baby-making thing on hold. Their new normal is messy and smelly and exhausting. It's everything she dreamed it would be.
