In this solo episode, I share all of the raw and overwhelming feelings I’m experiencing right now while grieving my son’s baby stage at eighteen months. I explore the heartache and anxiety around the passage of time, the confusion of feeling nostalgic for the present, and explain why the newborn phase wasn’t exactly my thing. I also give my mother an impromptu call and get her perspective on embracing the simultaneous sadness and joy of time passing with children. Finally, I discuss still feeling like a child myself, and I remind myself and anyone who needs to hear it that every child’s stage is incredible and brings new things.
