Soaking this in
Every second
Every breath
Every little weight on my chest
I am officially on postpartum leave
and this time I am not just supporting the journey
I am living it
As a doula I have held so many mothers through this space
the raw
the real
the sacred
the exhausting
the beautiful
And now I am here again myself
and it hits different
This season is raw and real and so incredibly sweet
Our baby girl arrived earlier than expected
but praise the Lord she is so healthy
The slow days
The healing
The constant feeding
The way time both stands still and flies
This is your reminder
postpartum is not something to bounce back from
it is something to move through gently
I will be soaking this season in with my family
leaning into rest
healing
and these newborn moments that pass way too fast
Mama Bare is not going anywhere
just being lived out in the most real way right now
This is my journey đ¤
