Being in Bermuda last week brought up so many emotions for me. This is probably TMI but the first time I got pregnant was there, and I couldn't help but think about that way too much while we were on the island. I've been wanting to write about having a baby post-miscarriage, and now that she's approaching three months, I think that I've finally wrapped my head around the feelings.
Well our first vacation as a family was a success... although I fully understand why my mom friends say when you travel with kids it's a "trip" and not a vacation. I had no idea just how much work it would be to fly and be in a totally new environment with such a little baby.
What a strange week to live through... a strange month really. Scratch that, the last year has been a whirlwind of tragedies and worldwide heartbreak. The worst part is that whenever there's another shooting or terror attack, it doesn't feel like a surprise anymore. It feels like it's becoming the norm in the news and that is not ok.
This post has been a long time coming. I have so much to say on the topic that it took a while to write. Now that Amalia is sleeping through the night, I'm excited to share everything that I learned with you. As you read it, please remember that I'm not a baby expert, just a mom who is learning as I go and sharing what I learn along the way.
