Welcome to Litsy!

So I've been very distracted/sick lately for very shocking and happy reasons! #pregnant

We're so happy, but I feel like absolute shit lol 😆 😅

My last post was really sad (thank you for your condolences for my family), & I'm trying to pull myself out of a depressive episode. This post is a happy post! Today is my grandson's due date, but he's still happy in the womb for now. The doctor scheduled an induction, but doesn't think we will make it to then! Exciting for me! Instead of "Grandma" I'm going to be called "Lyly". ???

7-26-23: My daughter and her partner made their official announcement today. Now I can speak freely about the Grandmom status!! 💖🎉

I really liked this feminist story - women have supported each other for centuries with their knowledge about women‘s bodies. We have come full circle to birth again at home. The history of Canada and the wider world was deftly woven in

A beautiful book of text and imagery I‘ve picked up through each of my first two pregnancies. Now starting again…
