Mama, if you say your birth was traumatic then it

Mama, if you say your birth was traumatic then it was. Even if nothing “went wrong” you are allowed to feel all those feelings bubbling inside.

It will never be your fault.

A healthy baby doesn’t mean you aren’t allowed to grieve the birthing experience you dreamed of.

It’s absolutely okay to take time to heal and process what happened in that hospital room.

So often as pregnant women we’re treated simply as patients. We’re scheduled, poked, tested, medicated, and examined without being asked if we’re okay.

Are you okay, sweet friend?

Let’s agree to ask new mamas that and genuinely mean it. Instead of “at least your baby is healthy” can we say, “what can I do? where do you need support? how are you hurting?”

And then here’s the magical part: we listen ✨

I believe in Heaven, I believe in magic ✨ I beli

I believe in Heaven, I believe in magic ✨
I believe in the life inside these walls.
Now I believe in dinosaurs,
in toy trains, and baseball
What are you gonna be for Halloween?
I’ll be the villain and you be the hero
You save the day the way that you saved me.

I thought I knew myself,
turns out I didn’t have a clue
Before these walls were blue ✨

Cannot believe Jep is our soon to be middle child 😭 #hormonesgotmelike

Real life: pregnant in a pandemic 🙃 It honestly

Real life: pregnant in a pandemic 🙃 It honestly breaks my heart knowing that our daughter will be born in a room where everyone’s faces are covered. Their smiles in celebration that she’s HERE and healthy will be hidden. I know, no one wants this “new normal”. But it doesn’t sit right in my tired mama soul.

The weight of everything has been wearing on me this past week more than anything since we’re SO close to seeing her face. So please know if you’re just a messy human trying to work through all the feelings...you aren’t alone, sister.

But I am clinging to hope. To all good things. Philippians 4:8 ✨#pregnantinapandemic
