On the Cusp of Something Big
Medical Motherhood turns FIVE years old!
If Medical Motherhood were a child, I would be signing it up for kindergarten.
It has been five years since the inaugural post in which I wrote these words:
[…]In my personal experience, having twins three months premature felt like falling through the looking glass. There was a whole world I had no idea existed and a steep, steep learning curve with huge consequences to my children when I didn’t catch on fast enough. Ten years in, I am still learning things I wish I had known a decade ago.
With Medical Motherhood, I want to add a ladder to that learning curve. I feel like SO MANY of the important things I know, I figured out when it was basically too late… or from other moms… and, unfortunately, usually NOT from the many people tax dollars were paying to help me.[…]
Well, I am now 15 years in to my medical motherhood experience and STILL learn new things all the time.
This quarter I have expanded my advocacy work — most notably by meeting up with others from around the country in Arizona for a Little Lobbyists training. It served to deepen my commitment to getting quality information out to our community.
Medical Motherhood is valuable if it offers my readers a sense of community, knowledge, insight and hope. Now, more than ever, we need that. If it has been valuable for you, please share it with others and subscribe to keep it going.
On that note, I’ll tell you something I’ve only told a few close friends.
