San Juan, Puerto Rico.

3PM park hangs with Auli and Chica. The light was beautiful. The weather was just right. And there were no ants this time.

I’m glad because I have been Auli’s solo caregiver for 9.5 hours at a time, every single weekday, and we have been running out of things to do inside our little apartment.

More than it is exhausting, it is actually quite lonely, mothering and caregiving for a baby alone.
