What a beautiful message to wake up to. Long time follower. ✨. I never thought of having kids…..same as you. But when it came to my mind it just felt right. Now I have the most beautiful 13 years old…and you are right. You can’t plan for any of it. It takes you places you never thought you would go and turns you into the most protective being on the planet…..for your child and this planet. Enjoy every minute. Enjoy the ride. And congrats on making a tiny human✨

Emma, thank you so much for the kind words and for coming along on this journey with me over the years. It touched me greatly to know you had the same feelings that I did, and now to have a wonderful 13 year old! Blessings to you both. I'm so looking forward to seeing where this path takes me, wherever that may be.

Thank you Mary! You are such an inspiration to me, as are so many mamas, and I feel blessed to be able to join your ranks! It all feels like it was an inevitable path that was going to intersect with my plans. It's already been nothing like I expected, in honestly the best ways.

Congratulations! I truly expected no less of a magical story from you. I was very salty I missed the Northern lights here in Virginia or maybe misunderstood what I was looking at haha. Wishing you and yours well!

Yes, I was shocked to hear you could see them all the way down to Georgia! Though I definitely was surprised when I actually saw them, they were nothing like I expected. Thank you for the kind words as well :)

Congratulations Val!!!! How beautiful it must be, to feel like a rose or the northern lights. And how magical, that it all comes full circle from your birth to your pregnancy. Enjoy preparing for the little one!

Thank you Sara! It is incredible how cyclical everything feels now that I've entered this new phase. None of it is lost on me and I'm doing my best to soak it in. So grateful to have you along on this ride :)
