First Two Weeks With Georgia

Some backstory: Before the baby arrived, Tom and I were in the process of buying a house upstate. I wrote/drew about that and our first nights there and published it directly to the site, in case anyone is interested. The plan was then to give birth in Brooklyn, but obviously Georgia had other ideas!

This is one of the best and most accurate things I’ve ever read about what it feels like to have a brand-new baby. And Edith I gasped at your mom referencing Little Fur Family, one of my son’s favorite books. “Bless you, my child” 😭 I’m so glad you’re doing well and letting all these feelings come. The fear being the flip side of the love is SO RIGHT. I felt that way too. It gets so much easier in that department. The love gets better and better and the fear gets a lot easier, or goes away, or you grow to be able to handle those feelings without walking around being so scared. Thank you so much for sharing all this. ❤️❤️❤️
