The Again Postpartum: crossing the threshold once more

This picture sums it up perfectly really.

The reach of my arms, legs and capacity to hold.

The many different needs being met at the same time.

The safety and refuge of coming back to your first home.

There is no longer space for just one, we all must expand. And while I stretch to engulf them both I’m somehow meant to also retain my selfhood. #showupforpostpartum
