Hey hi hello hola. 6 weeks postpartum and I wanted to report that I’m alive and doing well. I remember what I felt like in my previous postpartum days after my first two and this one has been wildly different. What an absolute difference it is to have support. Support from friends, family, and community. And holy moly did my community here show up! I am so f’n grateful for everyone I’ve met in my town. From my neighbors, my kiddos school teachers, even those mean PTA moms (ha!). B/c nothings brings people more together than cute little babies.
6 weeks in and I feel amazing for postpartum. Clear headed, happy, dare I even say- rested and stress free. Physically, still healing, but b/c of this beautiful weather I’ve been able to get up and take walks, longer and longer each day.
Birth is wild. It can take you apart and put you back together in ways you didn’t expect. Even with or without birth trauma- you don’t know how you’ll come out on the other side.
Well- just wanted to say hi, and that l would love to see more friends now that I’ve allowed my body and mind to heal. Thanks again to everyone that showed up for me and my little family. You all made a huge difference in my healing postpartum journey. Xo V
