Let's catch up
issue no. 6 | sleep is good. I'm finally thinking again.


At this point, I’ve re-written this update four times, because I didn’t have time to finish and by the time I got back to it, everything was outdated. So now, I’m committed to publishing this issue no matter what!
So, our family has grown! We have another little daughter. You may have read my personal update on The Creator’s Pursuit about my emergency trip back to the hospital ten days after the birth of my third daughter. It was a much longer recovery the second time around.
Since then, we’ve been settling into life at home as a family. It took a long time to feel more like myself. For the first five weeks, I was really not sleeping and also not leaving the house. A recipe for disaster in my world. I’m usually the “get acclimated with life and go integrate our newest family member with all the things our family loves to do” kind of mom throughout postpartum. This is the first time I’ve been on the bed/couch for an entire month, and it’s left me feeling quite far from myself.
This has been the first full week of more regular (as it can be) sleep, and the difference in the way I’m feeling is night and day.
We celebrated my eldest daughter’s birthday earlier this month. I’ve been noticing how much of her is woven into the fabric of our family. My newborn reminds me so much of her oldest sister at the same stage. Her name is brought up very often by my 2YO. She asks when she’ll finally “see her” since she can now see her younger sister. It’s a question I also wonder. I look forward to the day I can embrace her again, and thank her for the ways she has prayed for and inspired our family.

I’ve been considering consolidating this newsletter with my other one again to keep things simple and encourage me to write more again… But I do love this format a lot.
Let’s catch up!
Thanks for reading along.
