Everdearest friends, 

For the past few weeks, I've been saying repeatedly: "I just had a baby!" - both as an announcement  and an excuse for being MIA.  The truth is, I took an intentional pause on life.  I purposely undercommitted, in an effort to recover and be present.  And now, Logan is four weeks old.  Time has passed so quickly!  I'm starting to slip into real life again - appointments, errands and keeping up with the house.  Before I know it, 4 weeks will become 4 months, will become 4 years...(It almost seems like Xavi was born just yesterday!)

In the blink of an eye, the time will have passed.  I will lose touch, without meaning to.  I will respond to messages, but only in my head.  I will think of you, but the moment will pass before I actually tell you so.  I will want to make plans with you, and be partly relieved when those plans fall through.  I will post something on social media, in an attempt to reach as many people as I can...but I won't have the time to respond to all the kind messages.  

Please forgive me. Please continue to reach out.  Please stay my friend and know that you are mine.  In this season of my life, I may not be able to physically maintain our relationship.  Please know that I carry our friendship in my heart, and that you're helping carry me through the ups and downs of motherhood. In a time where I'm meant to give all of myself to raise little humans, it can be easy to forget who I am, at the core. It helps to remember all the moments and people who have shaped the person I've become, and I thank you for that.

Be right back!
A mama of two.
