If you’ve been wondering why it’s been so quiet around here… it’s because I’ve been hard at work. Making a human. We're happy to announce that we're expecting (a baby)! :)
Baby Mo #2 is due in September, and we thought you all should know! As expected, this pregnancy started off super rough and involved an unreasonable amount of nausea and vomiting... which should be illegal. Especially for moms with toddlers. I legitimately don't remember much of January or February, and Sunil is a saint for keeping everyone alive.
For those of you who like details, here are a few:
- I'm 17 weeks along and our official guess-date is September 8th. But babies arrive when babies are ready, so we'll let this little nugget decide when it's best.
- We'll be waiting to find out the gender when it makes an appearance in person! It was so much fun waiting last time and we don't care what you think. ;)
- Yes. Knowingly getting pregnant when you know it will most likely involve up to 20 weeks of daily vomiting is as terrifying as it sounds. Thank the good Lord for amazing midwives, saintly husbands, and medications that make me feel human again.
- Our experience at the New Birth Company birth center was incredible last time, so we're delivering there again! I can't recommend them enough.
I know life for many is grim right now. It's been really scary to be pregnant with disease and devastation threatening so many people's lives right now - including my own. But I've been learning a lot about how to enjoy gifts and blessings while holding space to lament pain and sadness. It's hard. So if this little announcement triggers extra hurt or pain in any way, please dismiss and move on. I don't want our joy to mean your sorrow.
Much love. <3
