Rebecca on Notes of a Make-Believe Farmer

Wow, Katherine, thank you for sharing your story and experience of matrescence. I am sorry you went through such a traumatic time right after childbirth in the PICU, that sounds absolutely awful. Your description of weepiness during new motherhood resonated deeply with me, likely heightened by the fact that I am pregnant with my third. I definitely find myself feeling more tender about... everything. i can't really think of it as a bad thing, though, even if it is damn annoying sometimes. Jeff, thanks for sharing about your feeling of quiet. I might propose that someone who recently wrote a whole book deserves as much of a rest from words as they need. Your fans here have many, many back pieces and chapters to read through if we miss your voice. Thank you for doing what you do.
