- I just listened to the fantastic “But Why” podcast episode: “How Are Babies Made?” Listing this here partly because it’s worth re-sharing, and partly because I want to come back to it later to answer more questions. Simple and inclusive answers to the baby-making questions from kids.
- And once the baby is here… “the Myth of the Instant Family.” I love any and all attempts to capture the emotional complexity of motherhood, particularly in those vulnerable first days with your baby. This sentiment could have been plucked from my own brain:
“What I really wanted to write on that birth announcement was, “I love my daughter, I am so grateful she is healthy and safe, but I miss my husband terribly. There is a hole in my heart where our twosome once was. What have we done?”
- Then again, on the topic of husbands… made me laugh more than once.
