Today is hands down the hardest day I've had since she's been born. She won't let me put her down and is feeding/being way more fussy than usual. My husband goes back to work next week and I'm afraid I can't handle it on my own.

Cringe but I'm trying to find a local mom (emphasis on stay at home mom) group and it seems like its impossible without a Facebook. Any advice other than going to library events?

Took our little one to the botanical garden for her first public outing🌼

Princess with Vultures by Henry Justice Ford, 1893.

I kind of went down a bit of a rabbit hole with this 1819 German chemise dress. While it shares many similarities with the English and French styles of the time- the high waist, white cotton fabric, columnar silhouette, it also has noticeable differences that made me pause when I

i fucking love vampires

This tiny flower is sadly considered to be a weed by most people in America. People really love their grass here and despise anything that adds a splash of color to their feverishly maintained lawns. It’s a native plant that is a host for several fritillary butterflies. #bloomscrolling #nativeplants

Dentist took 4 xrays in the same spot but something wasn't working properly. Before she tried again I asked if there was anything we could do to check before I got blasted with radiation again for no reason. She told me I was having post partum anxiety. I wanted to smack her.

I've been looking forward to having a glass of wine and watching The Real Housewives of Rhode Island since the moment I woke up this morning.

Need a Dracula tattoo for my daughter (iykyk) and I definitely think I need a knight.

Feeling super crampy. Maybe I'll restart Skyrim.

My in-laws (who rescheduled about 12 times) are meeting the baby today and we are ~stressed~.

We regret we cannot help you, but if you were anywhere near a library, you could find the information you need.

Took the baby out for icecream. (I'm baby)

Tried to take a pic of the baby here, but she hates the sun just like her mom.

Spring time walks are my favorite

I've always thought myself to be kind of cold and emotionally detached, but when I pick my baby up when she's crying and she immediately calms down and nuzzles into me...wow. overwhelming love and warmth. Peak human experience.

We cleaned our garage and I'm way too happy about it.

First Sunday morning baking session since having the baby. Double chocolate muffins and a batch of granola. Small steps.

Noone could have prepared me for the sounds my newborn makes while sleeping.

Love tiny worlds with moss and flowers.

I just stepped under the running water with my hair down on a non hair wash day...Keep me in your thought during this difficult time.

The Singing Fairy by Georges Lorin

I was in so much pain a month ago, I thought it would be impossible that I'd be outside doing yard work today. The bar is in hell, but I'm very proud of myself.

My husband is getting a tattoo tonight and I'm jealous. As soon as I'm done breastfeeding we're getting matching ones with baby's name.

Goodnight.

From my mom for the baby (but really it's for me.) I've wanted this for years.

Some family and friends got our daughter Easter Baskets and the thing is, she's a month old. I'm putting everything aside and giving it to her next year when she's a bit more sentient. Does that make me awful?

8.Letters of Enchantment #1 Divine Rivals By Rebecca Ross Best book I’ve read in a while. Unique with likable characters. I devoured this.

So incredibly tired

In Ukranian tradition, Easter eggs are powerful talismans. The eggshells would be fed to livestock to make them stronger or enhance fertility, buried in gardens to ensure good harvest, or placed beneath beehives for a steady honey supply. #WyrdWednesday

I cannot believe our baby is already a month old. Brb, I'm spiraling.

It's my favorite person's birthday and I love him more than ever.

So many beautiful ones, but I think my favorite line from Shakespeare will always be: This above all: to thine own self be true; And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man. #BookWormSat 🖼️George Hendrik Breitner

Got some of my favorite cheeses, a nice bottle of pinot noir and a mini chocolate cake. We're gonna binge our favorite shows and have ourselves a night. I've been looking forward to this for months.

Daughter is adorable and absolutely perfect but also kind of turns into the Dover Demon after she eats.

7. The Poison Daughter By Sheila Masterson I should have finished this last month but went into labor with 20% left. I didn’t really care for the romance in this, but the rest of the story was interesting and I liked the characters. A decent, easy to read standalone.
