This human turns two months old today, tonight another full moon. Two months since we stepped through that gateway together into this new world - for her, as a being outside the womb, for me as a mother, for Nick and I together as new parents and partners to a co-parent. New motherhood (and new parenthood) is all the things. Wild, challenging, beautiful, exhausting. There is so much I could say about the ongoing lessons in physical recovery from pregnancy and birth, about hormone swings and sleep deprivation and continued challenges with feeding. But let’s be real - I’m too tired to say any of that right now and through it all the strongest thread is this - we are so damn grateful for this little person and who she is becoming day by day. Woke up to -25*F as an outside temp. Yikes. Happy winter everyone! It’s too cold out for Penny for our usual bonfire… -10 and dropping… but at least the woodland creatures in our windowsill are celebrating. Happy solstice friends. Here’s to more light each day ❤️✨
