How are we here?! It’s still surreal to me that my pregnancy is nearing an end. In days (or weeks), my heart will grow to new lengths and my sanity will be stretched! My journey to motherhood will grow and evolve in ways I cannot prepare for. For now… I wait.

The really special part about having this site is that it oftentimes serves as a life ‘diary’ of sorts. I started looking back at all things bumps and babies, and happily realized how much we’ve shared together here. From first announcing the news, to styling the bump, to skincare secrets and wellness routines… to emotional BUMPdates, a babymoon, and a letter to a my baby… it’s all here.

Thank you for continuing to follow along on this life journey. I hope other mamas-to-be feel connected. I hope future mamas-to-be feel the happiness. And I hope every one of you feels the beautiful miracle that is life…

I feel all the feels… grateful, excited, scared, ready, prepared (and unprepared) all at once.”

Later in pregnancy, I have really enjoyed wearing fitted jersey dresses and off-the-shoulder tops that show off the little babe cooking inside me.”

I’m grateful for this moment, this life, this experience, and I don’t take any of it for granted…I feel calmly unprepared for both the love and chaos that’s to come…”

My body has stretched, and grown, and evolved in ways I didn’t know were possible. I have the curves of creating life.”

Being pregnant has proved to be both beautiful and terrifying; euphoric yet painful.”

You have always been a part of me. Part of my hopes, my dreams, my plans. Part of every journal I’ve kept, every discussion I’ve had with God, every glance I’ve shared with your father.”

I am grateful, happy and ready. I am scared, tired, and unprepared. But mostly, I am sure. Sure of you, of us, and of all the purpose you are already filling.”
