What joy! I hope you can slip away into the cocoon of the newborn days and let this other good work simmer for now. Can speak from the other side (times 5!) that these long/short days/nights do not last forever, despite how they seem, and everything else will be waiting for you. May your wintering be cozy, warm, healing, and full of wonder.

What I've learnt: Sleep is crucial so prioritise it. Listen to your body. This time with your baby is precious and you won't get it back. Take your time. If you have a valuable message to share (be confident - lots of people love your writing), then you will still have that value when you are ready. Huge congratulations, btw.

Oh, thank you for checking in and updating your many WINTER fans. You had a baby! Some of us back at 94305 (which was a very dry, very sunny January, BTW) were concerned about your absence—all for a very good reason, I now know. Enjoy your little one. I had my first baby in January; she's been good-natured since the day she was born.

Congratulations, Kari! I was delighted to see this wonderful news — welcome to the world, baby Leibowitz! I'm glad you are taking your own wise advice and savoring this season of life. Thanks again for fitting in an interview with me in your last pre-baby week, which was so enjoyable. It should be out next week. Congrats again!
