In the spring of 2017, I was in the middle of my parental leave with my newborn, Rowan, realizing how unprepared I felt for this stage of parenthood.

I had read all the books and watched the videos about TTC and pregnancy, researched hospital birth vs. home birth, and even taken a movement for birth class.

But what I wasn't prepared for was feeding and changing a newborn every two(!) hours, having to change my food intake based on their dietary restrictions, or how isolating it can feel to be just you and your new baby - now matter how much you love and adore them!

So what did I do?
