motherhood

"I think that you're never too old to read about hope, love, and redemption."

Assuming all women want to bear children is as anti-feminist and reductive as we can get — despite how often I’m on the receiving end of these comments from women who claim to be pro-choice.

No one ever told me that relaxing would be such a hard thing to do.

There are a lot more moments you’ll feel like you’re a disaster than there are moments you’ll feel like you’re nailing it.

Being a parent has given me the career that I had only previously dreamed of.

What seemed like it might be a super fun adventure is suddenly exhausting, terrifying, and sometimes downright dangerous.

There is no pain like sitting in a completely nursery waiting for a new baby that will never come home.

This doesn't surprise me — people don't even like to talk about breastfeeding. Adding in sex? Forget it.
