Oh Mamma.....I hear you....I think it may be quite the stressor, maybe one of the biggest, is our own constant assessment of is how I’m doing this right/best/true...I appreciate you sharing and questions, always.

I’m struck by how it seems like so much more of you is getting to show up for you and your family...maybe more than maybe I’ve ever heard...just as you are and caring for what will nurture and support you, and your baby and family.

So much love to you Peta.

....and may you and the goat cheese enjoy the days to that normal and sacred day on the horizon.

Oh gosh, I can relate to this so much Peta. The wait, the post partum “should be’s”, the changes in family dynamic and expanding of love.. I’m typing this as I sit with bubba #3 in my arms who is 5 weeks old, and for the first time I’m receiving a meal train to :)

Surrounding you with God’s perfect love in the weeks and months to follow xxx

Definitely would love to see what you have for your birth bag and aftercare, etc. seeing an amazing birth for you when it’s time. ❤️

Ah yes!! I so felt like that this time. That birth was just a normal part of life. Even though it’s so huge and miraculous as is,

It’s also so totally normal and “everyday” so to speak.

We had a normal day. A normal night. Woke up. Birthed a baby a few hours later. Went back to bed. Continued the conversations we were having only the day before, and “got on with life” (with a lot more oxytocin, and at a slower pace of course).

Really excited for you all! Thinking of you often xx

Aww I love the normal feeling. I’m preparing for my first birth (the milk in my fridge expires after my ‘due’ date) and I just feel so much trust in the timing & my body! Despite the chorus of fear people casually share. I appreciate your words xx
