Somehow one whole year has gone by and we are celebrating this happy, sweet little lady turning One💕
Birthdays are always good milestones to look back and reflect on the past year.
My heart and my body couldn’t have needed this year more. This little lady has brought more healing than I ever knew was necessary.
This has been the year I grieved my experiences of my first two births and actually accepted my own c-section. Learning to let go, trust my body and my care team again allowed so much mental and emotional freedom.
Having a 3rd kid made me slow down and be more present where my feet are. It woke me up a bit on how much I was consumed in other people’s things or events happening in the world around me.
Pure Joy—watching all 3 of my kids grow this year and especially watching my older two absolutely adore our babe has been nothing but pure joy. The joy that comes from the little things and every day experiences.
The first year can feel really daunting as you are sleep deprived, completely carrying for a dependent human, trying to heal your body, and face the demands of life. This is the first time I have felt that I truly gave myself a year (plus more to come) of grace to heal physically, mentally, and emotionally after the birth of child.
Pregnancy and child birth changes you. Allow yourself the time, space, and grace to heal, rest, and build the renewed version of yourself💕
