Baby Wicker is Here!

After another beautiful birth experience, Mary Elizabeth Wicker arrived into the world at 3:16 p.m. today weighing 5 pounds 14 ounces and measuring in at 20 inches. Her big sisters are thrilled (Madeline helped pick out her name). I feel great and will be sure to post more details, including photos in the near future.

Dad is holding his tiny treasure now and soon it will be time for me to nurse again. I am so happy… Thanks to everyone for their prayers and support.

    Congratulations, love the name! Glad to hear the birth went well. I look forward to hearing more. I will be looking for tips on transitioning from 2 to 3 and helping the older ones transition too!

Hi, I’m Kate

I’m a wife, mom of five kids, writer, speaker, storyteller, bibliophile, runner, eating disorder survivor, and perfectionist in recovery. I'm the author of Getting Past Perfect: Finding Joy & Grace in the Messiness of Motherhood  and Weightless: Making Peace With Your Body.

I’ve tried a lot of things in my life – anorexia, bulimia, law school, teaching aerobics, extended breastfeeding, vegetarianism, trying to be perfect and failing miserably at it – and through it all I’ve been writing. And learning to embrace the messiness of life instead of covering it up, making excuses for it, or being ashamed of my brokenness or my home’s sticky counters.

Nowadays I’m striving every single, imperfect day to strike a balance between keeping it real and keeping it joyful.

 

“She could never be a saint, but she thought she could be a martyr if they killed her quick.”

―Flannery O'Connor
