Emily Bridger · New Mom – Working Title
New Mom explores the beginning of Motherhood at the end of the world. The joy and magic of having a baby. The heart-opening — the space inside that that joy hollows out — creates room, too, for more sadness, more worry. Everything is a contradiction. You pray for Baby to go to bed, then miss them while they sleep. Time expands and shrinks. The sleep deprivation which while painful, can be a gift that allows you to believe the bad news is a bad dream.
