I Get to Be a Mommy

This season feels different in the most meaningful way. It's filled with reflection, gratitude, and a deep awareness of how much life can change before it even fully arrives. Becoming a mother has already begun shaping my priorities, softening my heart, and strengthening my sense of purpose—even before our baby is in my arms.

Excited to Become a Mommy

I get to be a mommy.

Something I am so incredibly grateful for.

There was a time when I wasn't sure if this would ever be my story, so carrying our baby boy feels nothing short of a miracle to me. That uncertainty came from waiting, and wondering—only to find out after a while that I was finally pregnant. Every day I'm reminded how precious this journey is, especially knowing he'll be here in just a few short months.

This chapter has me feeling so full of excitement and wonder. Every little moment—from feeling him move to imagining our days together—makes my heart race with joy. I can't wait to meet our baby boy, to hold him, and to start this journey as a mom. Experiencing this love even before he's here fills me with anticipation, tenderness, and a happiness I’ve never known before.

What This Season Has Revealed

Pregnancy has a way of gently bringing certain truths into focus. It shows you who leans in, offers support, and who naturally steps back. As my life begins to shift, I've become more thoughtful about the people I keep close, knowing that the environment I create now will shape the one our child will grow up in. As I prepare for motherhood, I've been reflecting on this idea: if I wouldn't want our children around someone, then it's worth asking why I should be.

This season has also changed how I view my body. I'm learning to trust it as it carries new life, even on days when it feels unfamiliar or slower than before. Being pregnant has taught me patience—with myself, the changes, and with the process unfolding in its own time. I'm learning to listen more closely, to rest when needed, and to respect what my body is doing.

Emotionally, this chapter has asked me to grow in ways I didn't expect. I'm becoming more intentional with my energy, confident in my choices, and accepting of things looking different than they once did. This season isn't just preparing me to meet our baby boy—it's shaping the mother and woman I'm becoming.

The Kind of Mother I Am Preparing to Be

I already know the kind of mom I want to be. The one who loves being home, wants to spend time with our baby, who soaks up the everyday moments. That doesn't mean my husband and I won't still have date nights or time together as a couple—we absolutely will. What I mean is that I don't want our life to revolve around going out every weekend without our baby. Instead, I want our time to be intentional and focused on building a loving, connected family. Our little boy will always be at the heart of our life.

I want to build a rhythm rooted in presence—one where childhood isn't rushed and connection is never secondary. I imagine weekends spent together at home, exploring new places as a family, laughing, playing, and cherishing ordinary moments just as much as the special ones. I want to make memories through little trips, shared experiences, and regular days. These intentions are forming now, long before our baby boy arrives, shaping the family life I hope to create.

Looking Toward the Life Ahead

I'm so excited for the life we are beginning to build together. I find myself imagining the little moments we'll share—the laughter, cuddles, even the late nights and early mornings, as well as the adventures we'll take as a family. I want our home to feel warm, safe, and full of love, where memories are created naturally, and every day carries a sense of connection and joy.

I look forward to the milestones, simple routines, and everything in-between. This season has already filled my heart in ways I didn't expect, and I can't wait to meet our sweet little boy in May.

We already love him more than we ever thought possible, and I know this is only the beginning of a love that will grow deeper with every single day.
