To keep my hands busy and my mind calm during the few quiet moments (or even while listening to the crying), I’ve actually started making Perler Beads versions of soothing symbols, like little rainbows and even tiny ‘easy baby’ car logos for my diaper bag. It’s a small, pixelated way to find focus when everything else feels so chaotic. Sending you and Daniel so much strength—it really is a ‘living nightmare’ while you’re in it, but as you said, the second child reminds us that this too shall pass!
