hello darkness sunshine my old friend!
Happy Spring Solstice, everyone! I can’t believe it’s already March 21st and it’s been 2.5 months since my last newsletter and life PB (Pre Baby). Well folks, once again the universe has proven my anxiety wrong - our baby, Wesley Michael Walker, was born healthy, beautiful and full of shit (literally… during our first skin to skin moment, he pooped alllll over my stomach). I am filled with 12 billion feelings every day, but at this very moment, my heart is bursting into a million colorful confetti pieces.
I haven’t slept enough the past 2.5 months to adequately write about anything, but I just wanted to pop in to say hello and let you know that this newsletter and mama is still alive and well!
I also want to send an extra dose of love to anyone struggling with hard feelings right now. One thing that has become abundantly clear to me since getting pregnant and having a baby is that one person’s joy can be another person’s trigger. If anyone needs to pause on any of the content I’m sharing, for any reason, I completely understand. In this space, boundaries will always be respected and celebrated.
Very much like the baby I’m currently responsible for, I have no idea what shape this newsletter will take over the next few months. And I am OK with that. I’m embracing uncertainty with wonder and arms wide open.
with love,
Jesse
