#InstaLately

This is the newest face from our v expressive child. She makes it when she’s excited about something. Like #babyshark and okra 🤣Tonight though, the face came out when @frenchqtr99 was twirling his drumsticks 🥁

Garden planning, bbq and ice cream. Not a bad way to spend the day! 📷: @frenchqtr99

This girl loves music class 🎶 💃 📷 @musikadventures

One year ago today ... I looked up nearby psychiatrists and very quickly sent one a message, knowing that if I thought about it too long, I would talk myself out of asking for the help I so badly needed. • My heart was inexplicably beating so fast, I felt like my chest was going to explode. I just could not shake the feeling that something terrible was going to happen to Jo or to me. It was not the first time I felt that way, but it was definitely one of the worst. • When we met a week later, she confirmed that I was experiencing postpartum anxiety. We hear about postpartum depression — albeit not nearly enough — but there is very little awareness about other postpartum mood disorders. We’re also not always told about late onset in PPMD. • Now, a year has passed, and thanks to more regular sleep, support of family and friends, ongoing therapy, and medication, I feel much more like myself (although still a different self because motherhood!) But that doesn’t mean every day is a walk in the park (although these photos are, in fact, from a walk in the park). It takes work — and I’m doubtful that anyone could get through it alone. •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So as someone who will do anything and everything not to appear vulnerable, I am sharing my experience because we don’t talk enough about the hard things. And I think we would all benefit from opening up about our fears. • If you’re struggling, ask for help! I *know* it’s not easy, but in my experience, the second you send the email or make the call, there is an instant feeling of relief. Something about putting your truth into the universe is incredibly freeing ... • If you know someone who might be struggling, speak up if you think they seem even slightly off. Sometimes it just takes the right person asking (maybe even more than once) at the right moment: are you ok? •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #mentalhealth #postpartumanxiety #momtruth #postpartummooddisorder

NYE 2009/NYE 2019 🥰🥰🥰

Celebrated a “London NYE” here in Memphis so we could ring in the new year before Jo went to bed ... and because we value our sleep more than staying up until midnight. #happynewyear #londonnye #cheers

Nothing beats the #rainydayblues like the big red chair in @overtonsquare — or the #gingerbreadcookies from @17berkshire! #sundayfunday

Merry everything from the Frenches! #merrychristmas

Two v important lessons from Jo today ... 1. Just dance. 2. If you fall, get back up and keep dancing.
