In this episode, I'm reading aloud my old IG journal entries from my postpartum lying-in period with my 4th baby, Maeve.

To read this, and to see the accompanying photos, go ⁠here⁠.

I've made candid journal entries on IG to chronicle the first few weeks after the birth of each of babies, starting with baby #3. I did an episode on postpartum with baby #6 already. In the future, I'll make an episode of my other 2 postpartum diaries as well.
