Ok, then here it is, the unvarnished truth[...] So you want to know the truth about motherhood? You want to know about the nights when three hours sounds like a good amount of sleep?

I wish my Girlfriends had been able to convey to me what I've only been able to learn through experience- exactly HOW tired I would be, but how much I would love her.... My sisters and Girlfriends were great sources of little tips such as
