When I had my first child, I underestimated the po When I had my first child, I underestimated the power of a peaceful bedroom to recover postpartum and exist in the newborn bubble. It might sound kind of silly, but I want to create a peaceful haven in my bedroom for postpartum because the newborn trenches are tough!
