Today was simply a difficult emotional day. And I welcome that change. My pace in bringing Darien safely home has been intense if I can use understatement. Details and story telling to follow in future posts. Enough to say for now that he is thriving on delicious Earth’s Best Organic Infant Formula spiked with Udo’s Infant Probiotics. Yet Mom is a touch overwhelmed by all the dramatic emotional shifts in the last three weeks.
I am just now surfacing from my nose to the grindstone Northern European work ethic. I had a baby to bring home–my son–and nothing plus nobody would interfere. Yet this stoic poise always costs me a great deal on the feeling scale. So, I am beginning to soften, allowing myself rays of more vulnerable honesty–that warm light that you know is the truth. Raising Darien will change me greatly as any parenting does. To do a real good job, my own emotional health needs tending these next days. And in that direction I turn.
