It's been a really long road and we're not there yet. I'm super grateful to have had any modicum of success at trying to start my family, and in the vein of gratefulness, I'd like to share a thought.
To the mothers who read and share with me: thank you for opening your hearts and offering advice along the way. The support is so appreciated. You're who I aspire to be next year.
To the mothers-to-be on this journey of growing humans with me: you inspire me. Thank you for sharing your hopes and ways to manage the mess of being pregnant. If I couldn't ask you questions, I'd freak out half the time.
To all the women still on their journey to growing their families: you'rey SHE-ro! No one knows perseverance like you do, and I'm grateful that you show it to me every day. It reminds me that I've got so much to look forward to when you bring your babies into the world. I can't wait to share my mommy experiences with you! Trust me, it's coming for you too.
Share some love today. Tell a woman she's worthy, and in that, find your own worthiness. The support we give and receive matters so much in who we are. I'm glad to share it with you!
