Lee and her husband have four kids and Adam and I have five. Not that long ago, we were sleep deprived mamas of littles, wondering if we’d make it. On this week’s episode, of The Martha + Mary Show, we’re reminiscing about the baby years—things we miss and things we don’t. We’re here to offer you a comforting hug and assurance that you will make it!
