Like Every Mother
Like every mother, I watched my children closely.
I noticed how they slept.
How they nursed.
How they rolled.
How they cried and laughed and smiled.

But as every parent learns, no amount of planning prepares us for the responsibility and learning that come with welcoming a firstborn. When Emmy, my first, arrived, I remember carrying […]
