Lemon 🍋 8 diary day 3
What is something you did today that you’re proud of?
It may sound a little silly, but I’m proud that I got up and right away. Made my daughter breakfast after that we went outside and just explored for an hour and a half and it was just a really good morning overall
After the birth of my daughter, I suffered some pretty bad postpartum and after like 16 months, I feel like I’m finally starting to get back to myself, but I definitely still have hard days. Today was a day that I didn’t want to get out of bed. My husband was here to wake up with her, so I got to lay in bed for a little longer than usual And maybe that’s what made it so hard to get out.
Despite struggling, I want to make sure my daughter has a good childhood she loves going outside and exploring so even though we didn’t actually go anywhere I know that it was good for her. She’s relaxed now and got a lot of energy out and I can tellshe’s feeling happy and content. Now onto lunch!
PS I made this crochet bag and it was my first tapestry pattern. I had a mess up grid before this that turned out a little silly, but I kept it and I tried again and I love the outcome. This is one of my most used bags for sure.
