This is my fourth year in review post. 2015 | 2016 | 2017
I had a baby this year! It was a big thing in my world, bringing lots of new physical realities and choices. I am choosing to be candid about my experience in this reflection, not only for my own sake but also to encourage others to share the messiness – even knowing that writing about my breasts is maybe not what some would deem “professional.” Frankly a good part of me would rather just block out my distressing postpartum period rather than relive it in words for anyone to judge; however, the flip side is that I’ve learned so much from what one might call mommy bloggers whose reflections were one of the only ways I had even a smidgen of a sense of what was coming for me, so this is my contribution as a way of paying it forward. If it’s helpful to even one person I will gladly submit to the awkwardness a thousand times over. Thank you for reading!
