There was a time when I blogged five days a week faithfully; this post is being published after over a two year hiatus. Our life and family has changed so much since I last “put pen to paper,” or more accurately, typed words on a screen. Most notably, our daughter Nora has grown into a [Continue Reading…]
Life During COVID-19

My Postpartum Story
Before you read this post, I recommend reading Nora’s Birth Story (and watching Nora’s Birth Video!) for more context. First few days I shared about my immediate postpartum experience in this post, so I won’t spend too much time on it here.

Nora’s Birth Video
Nora’s birth video is my favorite 10 minutes of video in the world, ever. (Well, other than our wedding video.)

You’ll Rest Either Way
A few months ago, I heard someone say, “You can either choose to rest or you will be forced to rest. You’ll rest either way.” I have rolled those words around and around in my mind. It seems silly now, but I had never considered this reality before. Of course it’s true: I can choose to take breaks, [Continue Reading…]
