Letting go of pre-pregnancy me.
Say hi to pelvic floor dysfunction (currently getting treated), resign myself to the fact my knees hurt (going to rehab), say goodbye to my body as it used to be.

Having excruciating insomnia fueled by anxiety.
Of the tips and tricks that got her to sleep; rocking her in my nursing cushion, holding her with one arm, watching her drift as she nursed.
Even the feeds themselves, she now wants to sit up, rather than rest in my arms.
I let go of that baby.
I love her so much. Today, she’s a 6mo old who is loving foods, who rolls over when I try to change her, who laughs and giggles and babbles. Who sits on her high chair and doesn’t fit on my nursing pillow.
I let go of my newborn to love my baby.
Who will rock my baby to sleep even though my arms are burning, who will play with her even though I’m exhausted or sick.
