Well, I'm a mom! My kid is about to turn four months old and it has been all the things. Everyone is healthy and (mostly) happy. Someday, when I have some space, I'll write a huge, huge post about giving birth and everything that came after. Be well, friends.
It’s True. Second Trimester is the Golden Hour.
I want to take a minute here and say a couple of things: first, this pregnancy was super wanted and planned for. And I know that I am SO lucky to be experiencing it. There are a few folks close to me who have struggled with infertility and it's heartbreaking. I don't really talk about … Continue reading It’s True. Second Trimester is the Golden Hour.

As some of you know, I've been tracking some personal data for a few years now. I do this because it helps me detect patterns with anxiety and potential triggers and also keep on top of other symptoms like headaches.
