you know what’s hard? adding another baby to your family.
not so? well, it was for me. frankly, i was a jerk about it.
i had a friend warn me when i was pregnant with our second to prepare myself for just how bad of a parent i would become. i laughed it off, assuming she was being hyperbolic.
she wasn’t. it happened.
i didn’t mean for it to, i never thought it could. i assumed i was resilient enough, skilled enough, resourceful enough and supported enough to continue parenting with ease, purpose, and joy.
needless to say, that’s not how it went down.
