Newness

 Wow. Hard to believe that I haven't written since August and today is the lastly of September. 

I've thought a lot about things going on, feelings being felt and happenings thing place, however I've had an extra little soul that I've been sustaining and I've been relishing in the time together, routine building, and sleep adjusting. In the moments of quiet and nursing, where I'm not able to do too much else, I have taken the opportunity to meditate and reflect, organize some busy thoughts and read a great book that I have been thoroughly enjoying. I've had some great conversations with my Dad, some quality time with my Mom, simplifying in the house, working together with my husband and resting. It's been a different kind of productive. I've been reading a book called 'Mother Food' by Hilary Jacobson, and really trying to step in to the role healthfully as a breastfeeding mother and nourish myself in multiple facets. Because of the support I've set up ahead of time, and an amazing partner, I've felt different, better, and more confident this go around. My body seems to be responding better and I am so grateful to have this last experience feel more peaceful and aligned. This isn't to say that I haven't had discomfort or hardship, but overall I've had more trust and confidence in my body and thats been a huge blessing.
