Dear Dylan: A Letter to my Husband on His Birthday Dear Dylan, I can’t promise you the fanciest dinner today and I can’t promise you a day full of adventure. It’s true; there are a lot of things I can’t do for you. What I can do is promise you that I have overwhelming joy […]

C-Sections Are Easy

I had a c-section. C-sections are easy. Take a moment to hear me out. Our cousin was pregnant at the same time as I was, expecting a baby girl and due only two short weeks after me. She and I had a conversation – cemented by an utter lack of pragmatic thought and drowned in […]
