The Porn House

by Katy McCaffrey August 23, 2013

Things have been really calm and easy at our house lately. Summer took us in like a mother waiting with open arms and then she gently rocked us while we lazed around and had our hair patted.

[soundcloud url=”http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/48236179″ iframe=”true” /] Please enjoy this post with a little baby sleep-enhancing white noise.  Maybe even dim your lights for the full effect. It’s 12:03 am and the infant has woken for for his second of four nighttime feedings.  He’s hungry and wet and it would be great if this could all be managed […]
