I take my minimal free time to write something constructive and positive about what is, right now, a really really difficult process, and all about what I’m learning and all the positive, helpful, empowering things I’m doing about it, and all the support I have, and …
Well. I just finished writing a long post about breastfeeding. I was nearing the end of the post when (as usual!) my computer shut itself down to do updates. Even though I had SAVED the post, it has disappeared. My first spare time to write something in days. My chance to use writing to support …
I’ve been wearing some awesome things since giving birth. The best have probably been the disposable underwear: super-comfortable and practical! Next, to keep my glasses on my face I’ve attached a small elastic band around each earpiece so it doesn’t slip. Super practical and comfy! So my hair doesn’t tickle baby, hair is always back: …

I have to conclude that readiness is a state of mind, though things on the outside can influence the mind. As of a week ago our house was still a mess. M had started renos on the back room. Essential for the winter (poorly insulated), but in the process we were dealing with an unfinished …
