The girls came home from the hospital over the weekend. I have spent the last few days nonstop changing nappies, washing bottles, feeding both every two hours, and doing almost nothing else. Having children is hard work. Even harder with two. You're up all night if they don't settle, trying to decipher what they're crying about while being desperate to stop it. You don't have enough hands. Sleep deprivation saps your legs of all strength. It's impossible to maintain a routine when they cluster feed. It's insane that we expect women to juggle a job alongside this, or surrender their children to daycare after a few weeks to go back to work. Hence why I haven't posted much recently. I'll try to get some video content out in the next few days, when I get a spare few hours to record and edit it. Otherwise, expect my output to drop for a week or two, as I adjust to the cumulative hours that caring for my wife and daughters takes each day. Thanks to everyone who sent their advice, well wishes, and gifts across various platforms — including Shannon, who knitted these hats and sent them all the way from Australia.
