One baby settled while the other stirred.

I forgot where I had put a cloth.

I drank water and then could not remember whether I had eaten.

Dad offered to take a turn and asked for instructions rather than assuming his experience from decades earlier answered everything.

We learned.

I also learned to call for appropriate help when something concerned me rather than treating every question as proof I could not manage.

Follow-up care, feeding support, and advice from the babies’ team were part of looking after them.
