I Get It Now

Posted on Categories baby, Grief, Parenting

My grandma used to always look at me, smile and laugh, grab my face with both hands and kiss my cheek. She would have these moments when she was suddenly SO proud. She did this with her daughters and grandchildren too. I remember thinking it was sweet but not quite understanding why she loved me so much.

Now every single day I look at Emmy, smile and laugh, grab her face with both hands and kiss her cheek. When I look at her the love I have is so consuming that I just have to. I get it now, grandma, I get it. ❤

Published by Lifted Into the World

I’m a seasoned kids yoga teacher, photo-taker, video-maker and blogger. Most importantly, I am a new mom. I live in Manhattan with my husband Steve, daughter Emily Rae, and Rhodesian Ridgeback, Romeo. I started this blog when I was 9 months pregnant. I was gearing up for giving birth to my daughter in a way I never expected- a scheduled c-section. My first post was me coming to terms with delivering my baby in the way she needed, and letting go of the natural childbirth I had envisioned. The idea that some babies want to be “lifted into the world” is what gave me peace. And that is how the title of this blog was born. I have found pregnancy and motherhood to be a transformative, inspiring and challenging experience. My intention is to share my stories in order to connect people. I believe we can support each other by honestly sharing our joys and struggles. Let’s lift each other up!
