Postpartum. .
It’s been almost a month and let me tell you, this shit ain’t easy. The lack of sleep, the breast feeding issues (low production over here), the identity shifts, constant worry over this new little life. I knew a lot of this stuff before, but until I was in it, I didn’t know. .
I’m reading the book Fourth Trimester by Kimberly Ann Johnson and it is a mind saver. This is a crazy transition and in so many other cultures, we honor this time and give women the opportunity to heal and bond with their new little one. There is a crazy expectation in our culture to “bounce back”, get back to work and how life was. I’m realizing that life will never be the same. At first, that scared the shit out of me, and now it’s exciting. Adjusting my expectations (aka lessening them) for myself has been the biggest gift I could give myself in this transition. .
Also, we are beyond lucky to have such wonderful support in family and friends in this new stage of our lives, so thank you to everyone who brought us food, made us food, visited, texted, offered support or love in any way. .
Walking around in this new normal (in a nursing bra and giant underwear, of course) is so humbling and so awesome. My body, community, husband and little babe are all incredible. 💖

Mom and Dad went on their first date 💖

I wore mascara and deodorant for the first time in a month 😘😂

YALL IT’S HAPPENING AGAIN
@lizzie_harrigan and I are hosting another Trauma Informed Yoga Workshop. .
What: A workshop for therapists, yoga teachers, yoga practitioners, social workers, helping professionals, or anyone interested in gathering tools to help process the things we store in our bodies. We focus on a social justice lens, so this information not only can help the individual, but impact their community as well. Everyone will leave with yoga and meditation tools to use themselves or share in their practices. .
When: November 8th, 9th and 10th 2019
.
How much: $275 early bird (before October 8th), $300 in full. $100 to save your spot. Scholarships available- so let us know if you want to work something out! .
Where: Nashville Recovery Center (west nashville)
.
Bonus: 13 CEs from Yoga Alliance and 13 CEs from NASW .
Let me or Lizzie know if you are interested!!

It’s #breastfeedingawarenessmonth and I am so grateful to be able to breast feed this little nugget. One of my favorite things is to look at this face while she is feeding.
It’s been a short journey so far. We had to supplement in the first few days with formula while my milk came in. I have to wear a nipple shield (which I didn’t even know was a thing before I needed one!) to help her latch. There is no right way to feed one’s babe and I’m grateful to have this experience with her, even at 4am.

Let me just brag on this guy for a sec: - He was such the supportive birth partner. In one of the most challenging moments of my life, he held my hand and my puke bucket, he massaged my back and encouraged me when I wanted to stop. - When our baby was only 5 days old, he went back to work (self employed folks don’t get maternity leave 😢) and still took night “shifts” to give me a little bit of sleep. - He is so sweet and loves her so much. Thank you, @simianspeaks for being so amazing. Baby Rae and I are so lucky to have you 💖

Rae’s first voting adventure!! (Don’t worry- we didn’t take her into the polls bc of the 🦠, we took turns)

It’s important that we show her to exercise her civic duty!! #vote
