No one makes my baby cry…EVER. Even if you’re their doctor. In this week’s episode, emotions are high and sleep is still low. How can one baby feel like 20 extra people? Alex asks this question in this week’s episode while Jon gets angry with their pediatrician for making Lucy cry. As you can see, new parenthood is settling in very nicely with Alex and Jon.
