Hello world, meet Rayna.
She is the ray of my life and my first kiddo!
I haven’t checked a single Slack message in 3 weeks and I don’t care at all.
It’s only been a few weeks, but man, I feel like I’ve already learned so much:
1. You think you know love until you have a baby. Holy cannoli I was wrong. It’s a whole different level.
2. Dog pee pads for diaper stations. We have a lot of dogs, but I had no idea how clutch pee pads would be for keeping everything so fresh and so clean. Absolute life hack.
3. Perspective. Scaling a company is cool, but my kid is so much better. I'm beyond thankful for the killer team at Straight Up Growth, and especially my brother Marco Tejada for holding down the fort while I'm completely offline.
4. Baby tech is insane these days. The Snoo, the Nanit, Owlet... it’s wild out here. I’ll do a follow-up post soon breaking down the absolute must-haves versus the ones you can skip.
5. Diapers. There is literally no such thing as having enough diapers. Huge shoutout to DYPER and Francesco Paolo Ruffo for hooking us up with some incredible products that we genuinely love and recommend to all our friends.
I have so much more to say, but I just got spit up on...
