Feels Like Going Home

• On being a mother to a new baby, but not a 'new mom' 3 years ago If I reflect on my experience of being a mother for the first time, it was like the roar of crashing surf as a storm surge hits the cliffs, while being an ‘again’ mother sounds more like waves lapping on a sandy beach bay as the tide swells.
