Maria likes to take what she calls “mental breaks” every so often. Usually that means she stalks someone on Facebook or grabs a quick nap. We don’t mind, because she juggles a lot of stuff throughout the day, and it’s great that she found a way to keep her head clear.

However.

Since she had her baby, we’ve noticed that her mental breaks have become shorter but more frequent. She doesn’t grab naps any more, and her Facebook stalking has gone down in frequency, but randomly we’ll hear “…ooooh, lookit the cute baby!” drift across the office. Since Brett is the most vocal about rolling his eyes (vocal eye rolling is a skill he’s perfected over the years), Maria will often shout “BABY!” and shove her phone in his face. Guess what her lock screen photo is? We think she needs help, but whenever we try to stage an intervention, we’re distracted by cute baby photos and forget what we originally had planned. At that point…um…

What were we talking about? Oh look–baby!
