My baby turned ONE today. 🦋
But don’t forget…
This mama is one year postpartum too.
I kept a premature baby alive.
36 weeks. Jaundice. Up and down bilirubin levels.
And at the same time?
I was healing.
Breastfeeding.
Going to school.
Moving.
Working.
Building something from nothing.
And I stayed.
Because the truth is…
Postpartum isn’t just soft moments and baby pictures.
It’s quiet battles.
It’s holding a baby while trying to hold your own mind together.
It’s smiling outside and struggling behind closed doors.
There are mamas who are not okay.
There are mamas who are barely holding on.
There are mamas who don’t feel safe, supported, or held.
And that’s why I’m building Gaia Nurture House.
Because mothers deserve a place to:
be held
rest
be seen
be supported
without judgment
Not just for the baby…
but for her.
So yes, happy birthday to my baby girl 🤍
But also…
Happy one year of survival to me.
And to any mama in it right now—
I see you.
