the dreaded question

• At the supermarket, a surprise encounter with an acquaintance: "How is the baby?"

• In line at the post office, Jonah asks loudly: "Mommy, where is your baby?"

• The midwife checks in: "How are you feeling emotionally?"

How do I answer? What do I say?

Monday I go back to work after weeks of being gone. Will a lot of people ask?

Say what ever comes into your mind, there is no right or wrong. What ever you do remember you are so loved!!

You are in charge. People might ask questions, you get to decide what you want to answer. You are under no obligation to acquaintances, co-workers, etc.

Maryann is right, you are loved!

With Jonah asking every so often as he processes this, it gives you lots of opportunities to practice different answers, I guess, whether you want to or not.

Big hugs.
