I'm reading this about 30 weeks pregnant (read Mama Tried on Baffler, too, today) and hanging on to your every word! Your experience as you've shared it is resonating with me deeply. Thank you for your writing
my congratulations - I was at your reading with V and Gabriel Flynn a while back when visiting Berlin, when you were still expecting (or is that term out of use now?) ‚Entbinden‘ doesn‘t reflect that there is simultaneously a new tie appearing, or actually two when both parents are involved. I hope ‚babygirl‘ will do well in this word.
This is so beautiful Madeleine ❤️ I wish I’d captured detail of those early weeks the way you have here — I have random sentences in my notes app, but it’s wild how quickly memories fade. I feel like I’ll read this again and again.
💙 I feel like I’ve become a real devotee of the notes app - it’s the only way I’m able to write anything right now (like, child in one arm, phone in the other, typing slowly with the thumb of the wrong hand…)
