Turns out that the consecutive daycare-related GI bugs I wrote about last week were not, in fact, GI bugs. I was admitted to the hospital over the weekend and learned that I have gallstones. After two surgeries to first remove the gallstones and then remove my gallbladder, I’m finally no longer in pain. I’m grateful that Justin held down the fort at home with Baby K, for all of you who saw my insta stories and sent me DMs checking in, and also to myself — for trusting that something was wrong and not saying “it’s just in your head.” I’m going to take the next two weeks to rest and recover, which includes taking a break from this newsletter. I’ll be back on August 23!

So glad you trusted your gut on that. I hope you can rest a lot and have the time and space you need to heal. Sending love!
Take as long as you need! The last week of august most people are out of town 💚💚 if you need four weeks or more take it slow easy.
