My younger son turned one in May 2020. He started daycare in January 2020 but was home with us by the second week of March. I am so nervous for how this re-entry will feel for him. I had a very rough time in his post partum period and will mourn that fact for a long time. I am grateful that he and my husband have a absolutely beautiful bond that might not have happened if I hadn't been knocked back so hard. I anticipate the first cold my son catches will send me into a little bit of breakdown. Anyway, right there with you.

My daughter turned 1 in June 2020! I had a really rough postpartum with her, too, made worse by the fact that I could only take off for 6 weeks. Weirdly, the beginning of the pandemic was somewhat healing for me because I did get an extra six weeks with her at the beginning. But I just wanted you to know that I hear you and relate so much.
