Pushed Through

 This morning, I took Minnie to our combined
2-month check-up.  We are both doing amazing.
I couldn't be more grateful for my strong and healthy body.
It has pushed through and shown up for nearly the last year with
 the extreme nausea, the itching, 
the stretching, the delivery, sore nipples, milk supply, the feedings, 
and being severely sleep-deprived.
I'm really feeling gratitude, especially since I know this will
really be my last go at this stage of motherhood, 
and it's feeling really bittersweet.

Afterward, Christian took us out for lunch to celebrate.
It felt good to mark these beautiful but exhausting milestones.
I also want to say how grateful I am that Christian has
been with me at every doctor's appointment during my pregnancy,
delivery, and after. He has truly been the best partner as
I have gone through all of this.
