February 25th, 2021. Matthias invited me to join him for lunch today, but I had to turn down the sweet offer because leaving our home is just too much to do alone with the two babies— at least today. One day at a time, one day at a time.

I was still mostly on bedrest at two weeks postpartum with Eliot and that’s just not possible this time around, but if I can stay home, that’s at least something. I remember at 19 (and in other years, but for some reason 19 really stands out) I couldn’t stay home, I was always itching to be out & about. Somewhere in the past few years that all changed. I think when I married Matthias— now home is my favorite place in the world, especially when I have all my people here🥰
