taken back when i could still glimpse my feet

Officially in the home stretch of growing a brand new human being. What a challenging, gorgeous, humbling adventure. Every emotion, named or otherwise, has left its mark on me. I have felt more power than I thought possible. I have been twisted in opposite directions by grief, by love. By fear. By a wild belief, so true that it stunned me--that I have always been more capable than I ever allowed myself to believe. Already my daughter is teaching me so much. Already I am so, so honored to be her mother.
