#60: A Little Life + Levi Update Jun 21, 2023

Show notes

Levi is officially 5 weeks old and HOME from the NICU. I'm sharing a little update on how we are doing now and just reflecting over the past 5 weeks.
TRIGGER WARNING - I do talk briefly about the fact that our birth was traumatic, which you all know, but if you feel that would be triggering for you because you are currently pregnant or had a recent traumatic birth, I just wanted to mention that.
Also sharing a HUGE exciting new development at the end!!
Thanks for tuning in + supporting us and talk to you soon.
