Once, it was just you and I. You were there inside me, the sweetest tiniest secret. Then it was your daddy and me, sharing secret smiles over our sweet secret. When you were born I was afraid that we might lose our special little secret. You were out in the world and there were so many people to see you, to know you, to love you. I should have been happy, and I guess I was, but I also quietly grieved for the tie between us when you swam in the oceans of my womb. Now each morning you wake with a smile, you reach for me with tiny hands, you call for me in words that only I understand, and I realize that we have a new secret, you and I. It’s still us, whispering love to each other without words. You speak my language and I speak yours. #sweetsecret #motherhood #postpartum #postpartumfeels https://www.instagram.com/p/B5stfZ3gFcX/?igshid=1myukvu7uv7pd
