Hope you enjoy them and kick the shit out of your hormones! Baby lost grief is overwhelming when a new baby comes along. It's exhausting and makes sense to no one else. I wish I could give you a hug. This will pass. And in the meantime, let yourself wallow in it and don't apologize to anyone. You owe yourself a break more than you owe anyone any of those things you listed.....seriously, who has time to write thank you notes when you are dealing with a newborn, a 3 year old, and grief?CLChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08030787972960755420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8013443217504323406.post-13600167722948290882010-05-05T19:10:35.823-04:002010-05-05T19:10:35.823-04:00I don't think you owe anyone or the universe a...I don't think you owe anyone or the universe any apologies...just be as you are, as you are doing.

Good boots, strong feet, feeling rooted to the earth, feeling stable through your ankles: all good and lovely things. Also, those boots could crush the crap out of your blackberry. Might be worth threatening the little sucker when he starts getting all judgy on your tired, postpartum ass.
