What a month it has been.

We welcomed our daughter, Eva, in the middle of February, and it’s been … chaotic ever since (more to come on that)!

The past month has been filled with doctors’ appointments, blood pressure cuffs, therapy appointments, late nights (sleepless nights, more like…), lots of daytime naps, daycare pickup and dropoff, sniffles, congestion, and so much more. My husband has had the month off for paternity leave, and it’s been great to spend time with him and our little family.

A new month is here (hard to believe Eva will be one month in just a week), and that means some manifesting from yours truly. I am hoping for warmer weather, which would mean getting my butt outside and going for walks with the little ones. I am also healing more and more each day (physically and mentally) and hope that March will bring some peace and turn some things around for me. Early postpartum is so rough, and I anticipate that I will continue to navigate my way out of this haze and feel more like myself.
