The greatest duos get to start off in diapers together π₯Ή
Three people were born that day. Archer, our perfect son, me, his mother, and Daniel, his father.
I think we often forget that entering 4th trimester isn't just a contuation of life with the addition of a newborn, and we expect much in our lives to return to the way they used to be.
Recognizing the transition that's happened, the changes in our bodies, the changes in our relationships, have all been necessary to now nurture the lives of the those who were born in that delivery room (whatever that room looks like for you).
I have surrendered to postpartum in the same way I did with every sensation during labour and birth. Some of it is painful, it forces more mental strength than I've had to endure in any other period of my life, but its also so so beautiful and a necessary part of the journey.
I'm so excited to share so much more about this journey with you. Currently in a postpartum time continuum, embracing the frequent diaper changes (for both of us), and nurturing and getting to know these beings who have just been born.
Thank you all for your wonderful messages, encouragements, and congratulations. We feel nothing short of grateful for the health of our family, and support from those around us. π
