Never more have I wondered “who am I and where did I go?” more than after becoming a mother. I’m 7 years post-partum with only one and that isn’t meant to scare you but more than I realized that I AM someone new and while I still miss that ol’ fun girl sometimes, I like who I am now and that’s enough. This was beautiful and relatable and I’m so glad you hit send. It will help a lot of new moms, old moms, just moms.
I feel a strong sense of sisterhood with you since we got married and had our first babies literally a month apart. I think you, Coco and Frankie are absolute ROCKSTARS (Dad too of course!)
Know you have a friend who will happily tan on that shore with you any day. Life’s a Beach! Pun very much intended 🙃🏝️
Thanks so much for sharing! I am considering whether to have kids, and also trying to support my friends in this stage, and it’s so helpful to read (and hard to find) honest accounts like this. Also, FWIW I thought parts of this essay were definitely funny :) Glad to see from your new post that you are feeling better.

Becoming a mother is so complicated and beautiful and overwhelming. Sending you so much love (and laughter). xo
This is so beautiful and relatable. Thanks for putting so many of my 9 months postpartum thoughts into words.
This was so so so relatable. Maybe it helps to know you’re not alone.
♥️♥️
