Pregnancy was the first time in life that I actively slowed down, physically and mentally. For me it was a beautiful moment of connection to myself and to my baby, and I fed both of us so lovingly throughout!
My relationship with my daughter, who is currently almost three years old, is at times beautiful and adorable and at times incredibly frustrating! Haha! I do my best to talk to her about her Vietnamese culture and celebrate it. I want her to grow up proud of her background as this was not my own experience growing up in a white-centric society.
