I dig your intro! Super interesting! Would love to hear how you navigated your eczema perhaps in a future post. I’ve #subscribed and look forward to reading more Miriam.

Hi Istiaq, welcome and thank you!! I've started writing about my eczema several times and never could quite complete the post/thought. You've given me inspiration to try again. I'm curious now if you have experience with it yourself or as a doctor!

I'm so grateful you're here — thanks for the reply and intro ❤️🙏🏼

Yes please try again! I would describe eczema as a nuisance for me. Never had it until my mid-20s during medical school while studying for exams. I ignored it thinking it would go away on its own, I can only “manage” it now a decade later.

Thank you for sharing your heart here Miriam! I’m a new mama myself (my Daisy girl is only 2.5 months old😊). I love the way you said the world got turned “right side up”. So true. Looking forward to reading about your take on motherhood!

Oh my goodness, hello Katie and welcome to Daisy!! I love the name and I'm SO happy for you 🥲 I feel like my boy is still 2.5 months — I truly cannot believe how quickly we've arrived at now 10.5! I remember still feeling a rollercoaster of all the postpartum emotions during those first few months. If you're ever wanting to connect with another mom to talk through any of it, I'm here 🥰 (I find that sometimes it's nice to talk to a new friend versus an old one!)

In any case, so grateful to have you here and to connect in this way ❤️

Love your welcome post and intro to yourself and your writing, Miriam. I haven’t written this type of post yet (apart from a very old about page) and urgently need to write a hello, too. :)
