Hiii Cissy, thank you so much for documenting your journey and your thoughts. Your experience gives me a lot of confidence and insight into what is about to come.
I’m preparing to conceive and I’m a bit nervous about the final act of delivering, but your words about surrendering seem quite apt to me. So powerful.
I wish you so much love and happiness. You’ll be a great mama and baby Hu will be blessed to have you both as parents. I’m so excited for the 3 of you. 🫶
so excited for you as you embark on this journey! definitely resonate with alll the feelings associated with birth. I found a lot of inspiration and drew strength from reading Transformed by Birth by and Spiritual Midwifery – both were such beautiful reminders to surrender to the process unfolding before us. wishing you the most meaningful experience ahead!
Congratulations Cissy! Wishing you all the best with your delivery. These were wonderful and helpful reflections. Having a child is so coded in our DNA and yet also so foreign. It's nice to read about how you approached it.
thanks, Michelle :) truly amazing that women have been carrying children & birthing since the dawn of time and yettt now, most of us are so removed from the experience until we arrive in it
Beautifully written. It brought back so many memories of those months before Carson was born. The journey is the most magical one ever and it will begin soon. That baby boy is so lucky to have you both as parents.
Beautiful 🥹 Thanks so much for sharing all of this and congrats on how far you’ve come in your journey thus far 🙏
I love the themes you wrote about around listening to your intuition and body, and surrendering.
Some of my favorite quotes:
- “I’ve done my best to tend to each of them, giving them space to express their deepest needs and rest knowing that, for now, the self suspended in the chrysalis of becoming a mother takes precedence above all others.”
- “In this (and every) moment, I’m as prepared as I’ll ever be.”
This is wholesome
Reminds me of what I wrote about pregnancy

beautiful reflection that inspires me to write my own 💛 I relate to a lot of the themes mentioned!
excited to read your reflections! grateful to walk this path alongside you :)
Please do, and share it with me. I’m preparing for conception and knowing there are female stories around motherhood to rely on is really helpful. 🤍
Some day your son will read this and feel grateful you’re his mom.
Jeff, that means a lot — thank you 🥺
Such a beautiful message! 🫶
Thinking of you guys ❤️
