For those asking, Bea is doing amazing! 😊 (Thank you btw for all the kind thoughts and well wishes)
We had a little setback over the holidays where some of her symptoms came back so I'm now doing a full allergen-elimination-diet to see if we can test out exactly what she's allergic to.
.
Our biggest challenge currently is getting her back to breastfeeding since she's gotten so used to a bottle and formula. Wow. I had no idea how mentally and physically draining it can be dealing with breastfeeding issues. 😔
.
If you're a mama also struggling, I just want to say: that shit is HARD and you're doing a great job however you're able to feed your baby. 💕 Nursing isn't some simple, magical experience for everyone and that's okay.
.
There's a ton of pressure and advice everywhere, from all different points of view, but try to find some solid support who actually listens. If you're able to, hiring a lactation consultant can also be an good resource.
And definitely remember you're not alone! So many others deal with this and the perfect instagram #momlife really doesn't exist, there's always more going on behind the cute photos.
.
But having said that, she is pretty adorable in her naturally dyed @sustainbykat onesie 🙃

My first thought when we decided to take baby B swimming was: "Damn, I need to buy a new swimsuit - something high-waisted or a one-piece."
But then, like with any new thing I'm thinking of buying, I paused and asked myself, "why?"
My initial response surprised me - "because I should be covering my stomach now."
.
It's so deeply ingrained that we're supposed to hide weight gain, stretch marks, skin imperfections, postpartum bodies, or anything less than what's societally seen as "perfect".
I would NEVER tell a friend or anyone else they should cover their body! So why am I telling myself? 🤔
.
Anyways this is just to say: wear things because YOU want to and feel good in them, not because you think you "should be" wearing them.

We are in the middle of a cold snap (-30s, sometimes even into the -40s at night and with wind chill 🥶) and I am SO happy we don't have to leave the house today. What are your favourite cozy things to do at home?

Finally getting my basement sewing room together - excited to work on some projects this year! 😄
.
All the furniture is secondhand, most from my grandmother which she's had as long as I can remember (it must have been very modern for the time!). She prioritized quality and it shows - the pieces are still in amazing shape after so many years and moves, and I'm sure will last decades longer. 💚

Too much happened in 2019 to properly reflect on, it was quite a rollercoaster of highs and lows. So I'm just looking to all the possibilities and excitement of a fresh year and decade!

Thank you so much for your support, patience, conversations, and companionship on this journey.
All the best wishes for 2020 💕
