Whybe a Mother - Six Months

“We made it 6 months, Baby.”

I remember talking to you when you were in my belly, wondering what life would look like with you out here in the real world.
No way could I have predicted or dreamt what the last 6 months have looked like.
It hasn’t been easy. It’s been really fckng hard at times. You know it, I know it. We’re still figuring this whole thing out.
I imagine we’ll be figuring it out for a while, and that’s okay.
Figuring out how to support ourselves with a structured plan, yet finding grace when flexibility is needed to stray from the schedule.
Figuring out what’s next, while trying to stay present in the gift of right now.
Figuring out how to navigate growing pains but slowing down enough to acknowledge our wins.
What I know is my immense love for you.
My heart hurts from how much it has expanded by you being in this world - my human body and emotions don’t have the capability to fully process that. So I guess that’s another thing I’ll be figuring out, too - how to allow myself to feel this love, to want everything and more for you, and allow you to freely grow into yourself.
I love this picture of us because we look like we are figuring it out. We haven’t figured it all out, but we’re smiling as we work on it.
