This was so relatable. That first postpartum year felt so tender and encapsulated for me. It took so long to integrate, and I really don't think that integration fully happened until after year 1 (we're at 18 months now). Each phase is so sweet and then there is the looking backward and almost preemptive reminiscing that happens. And the baby math! The all-consuming needing to know time and quantities and length and weight and stats. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing Berlin, oh yes! What a perfect way to describe it, preemptive reminiscing is 100% something I do each day. 18 months, congrats Mama, what a sweet time.

Love this thank you 🙏🏾 so well described this bubble and haze, wanting to stay in it yet wanting more and then wondering how it can even happen
