Jen... Your post came at the exact moment I needed it. I'm postpartum by almost 16 months and I write in spurts and starts. Writing hasn't been fun (except for a side project I'm doing with my friend). So I've been mean to myself for not throwing myself back into writing my ongoing series. But it's coming together in a way that makes sense to the Me Now, not Me Before.

I am learning to appreciate the wins and forget the "losses".

Thank you for your uplifting words and CONGRATULATIONS on your sweet boy! Boys are the best!! (2x boy momma here!)

This is so beautiful!!! It is so true that the "me now" lives in a completely different world. But the "me before" would be kind to us. It feels like postpartum is going to be literally forever... But I'm sure someday we'll get back to a new kind of energy and motivation. Yay for YOUR two boys also!!! They truly are so sweet. Cheering you on 🥰🫶

Thank you for your support! And YES we will find our way back to our new kind of energy and motivation and KICK OUR WORD COUNT GOALS INTO OBLIVION! Until then we'll enjoy all the chaos of our kids and laugh hysterically only a little.
