i'm not on her FL but i can say, when it's not your first kid it's A LOT easier to go back to some semblance of normal life. your life has already been adjusted to the world of kids and babies... so there is what appears to be more time.

i'm really glad your midwife is so supportive. that helps so much.

those pictures of august? i love! i esp love the one of you holding her. so sweet!
