babies, stress 

So despite having "parents and kids" as a fairly regular trauma trigger, I managed to spend around an hour tonight in the company of an old high school friends of mine, who is now a father of a small pink baby-like child.

It sucked and was hugely emotionally draining. I didn't freak out and I haven't burst into tears yet, but it was extremely stressful.

@irisjaycomics Overzealous touchscreen, probably? No worries, is okay.
