Baby is arriving soon and the anticipation is feeling quite real.

In order to say hello to baby and welcome them into our new life I realize this next month or so will involve a process of letting go. I’m a huge believer in we will continue prioritizing our lives to the fullest and live with integrating baby as much as possible. Yet there’s an undeniable sadness that mourns life as it is. I am ready and not ready at the same time.

It’s less of the tangible things like spontaneous trips, date nights, doing whatever the f I feel like though these are valid too. It’s more of the intangibles. This feeling of being right here in this moment with not all the pieces figured out, but feeling rather comfy before it all upends itself changing once again. That is the only constant in life isn’t it? The overwhelming constant change again and again. And with it not being afraid to embrace things falling apart so new things can come together.

For now, with baby in womb, as we prepare to welcome usher in a new life, I am saying goodbye to parts of my old life. Thank you for what you’ve taught me, for the beautiful experiences and memories. We are making space to expand what our hearts and souls ever knew was possible.
