I’m here with you, Carola! This was beautifully written about this life stage. I was laid off end of October at 33 weeks pregnant and then abruptly welcomed our daughter at 37 weeks. Oh, the plans I initially had between the two! Oh, the things that are still left unfinished. But it’s a beautiful moment to hunker down and winter, remembering the most important thing in this world is the little family I get to cocoon with. Substack and all the things will be there when we’re ready. ❤️
Carola!! This is so beautifully written. Slowing down and pausing (without guilt...) is such an important theme and something we should all talk more about. Especially women. I'm so excited for you! Elsie was a December baby and I can attest that slowing down, hibernating, and embracing your baby bubble in the winter months just feels RIGHT. Probably different with two older siblings, but I hope you can ENJOY IT!!!
belated wanted to say: I love this xxx

It's true! Congratulations on welcoming your little one! Hope you are having a cozy, restful postpartum <3

Lacey tysm for these kind words!! wishing Elsie the happiest birthday month 💝
Love to hear that what you naturally needed washed over you, even if it felt abrupt. I'm hoping I can let some of your lived-in wisdom soak in.
As a therapist, mom and Current Coloradoan (Denver) color me even more excited for #5 <3

The last paragraph is now my meditation mantra (I don't meditate, but if I did!!) Gorgeous 🧘♀️
Yes to all of this. Also, I’m VERY impressed you reviewed / printed photos and worked on baby books. That’s been on my list for a year…
Woof it was a task, but I figured if I don't do it before this child comes I never will...
