No, but really, the final decision was made after reading this article. Nick and I sat down and thought, wow, with such a legit study, done by the University of Washington (your tax dollars hard at work, Washingtonians)...if assuming more traditional roles is the only way to get more sex, we might as well take the plunge.
No, but really, REALLY. I know I don't get this time back, and I want to enjoy every moment with the boys or ignore them to post those moments on instagram.... Charlie will still go to school a few days a week (you want me to stay sober, right?) but Mack and I are in it for the long haul. And no job for me means, no convenient use of a babysitter just because I feel the need to be alone for a few moments.
Ahh...we all make sacrifices.
But, yay! Freedom! I can't wait to slave over a hot stove all day and greet my man at the door with his old-fashion on the rocks.
Now, because I'm such a good mom, I am going to shower while my baby cries...
It'll be quick, promise.

Good for you erica. I love reading your blog.
Hey Erica! I swaddle my girls too and they scream too! Do you always leave one arm out? I tried that once and she woke up...I used Babywise and let them cry too - and Reese is the best sleeper ever! Keep up the good (and very hard) work! It is exhausting but it pays off in the end.
