You wake up early, around 6 AM. After showering, doing your makeup, and getting dressed, you find yourself ready before your baby girl, Eleanor, wakes up. Owen, your husband, remains soundly asleep in bed—he’s not as much of a morning person as you are. He snores softly as you gently lift Eleanor out of her travel bassinet. You're currently staying in a cozy cabin with some of your friends and their kids for a vacation: Tommy with her twin 9-year-old girls, Izzy and Evie; Judd and Grace with their 6-month-old girl, Charlie; TK and Carlos with their adopted 6-year-old, Olivia, and 2-year-old, Rosie; and Mateo and Nancy, who are expecting a baby boy soon.

Leaving the shared room, you enter the silent living space. You decide to head out to the porch, sitting down on the comfortable rocking swing while relaxing in the warm June air of Texas. You're wearing a short white linen dress, and your two-month-old is dressed in a navy blue eyelet dress with a matching bow headband.
