After a weekend with some tough moments of being the less preferred parent, I got to feel like my fun self with my son again. This was the best time I’ve had in a while. I love my growing family. But growing pains are real. For me the hardest part has been balancing feeding our little one while still having enough time to have truly engages play and alone time with Lokan. We do a lot to try and balance my time with my first baby, but inevitably the act of feeding a small human often takes precedent. Just like in adult relationships, moments of authentic connection can’t be forced... they have to just happen. Less time together solo has meant less time for me and Lokan to have these genuine moments of connection. I’ll be honest, all the change breaks my heart. But yesterday’s sweetness put some of the pieces back together. And I realized a heart can be broken in a good sort of way. In a growth sort of way. #motherhood #parenting #breathe #love
