As we approach the final stretch of my pregnancy, I’ve been reflecting a lot on the path that led me here. In episode 10 of my pregnancy series, I decided to get more personal and share some of my thoughts and feelings with you. It’s hard to believe that soon, our little “baby Rabbit” will be here, bringing a whole new chapter into our lives.
With only a few episodes left in this series, I wanted to take this opportunity to reflect on what’s been—and what’s to come—by sharing a bit about my own past as a daughter, my current journey as a soon-to-be mother, and what I envision for the future. It felt like the right time to open up and talk about my hopes, my dreams, and the emotions that come with stepping into this new role in my life.
A Look Back: Growing Up and the Power of Family
When I think back to my childhood, I’m filled with warmth and gratitude. Growing up, I was always surrounded by love and support, especially from my parents. They taught me invaluable lessons, not only through their words but also through their actions. Their dedication, care, and the way they approached life with such optimism made a lasting impact on me. I often find myself thinking about how I want to carry those same lessons into my own parenting.
Being a daughter gave me such a deep appreciation for the role of a mother. I’ve always admired how my own mother navigated the ups and downs of raising a family. It’s clear to me now that motherhood isn’t just about caring for your child—it’s about being there in every sense, emotionally and physically. It’s about nurturing, guiding, and protecting your child as they grow. But most of all, it’s about showing them love in every moment, even in the smallest of ways.
Present-Day: The Journey to Motherhood
Fast forward to today, and here I am, just days away from becoming a mother myself. The reality of it all still feels surreal. There’s a beautiful mix of excitement, nervousness, and a whole lot of anticipation. I find myself looking at my growing belly and imagining what life will be like once our baby is here. It’s a feeling that’s hard to describe—like stepping into the unknown but with a heart full of hope and joy.
There’s something special about this phase of pregnancy. It’s a time of preparation, of dreaming about the future while still savoring these last moments before everything changes. It’s been incredible to witness how much I’ve grown, both physically and emotionally, during this journey. But I also know that the real adventure is just beginning.
As I think about becoming a mother, I feel a sense of responsibility, but also an overwhelming sense of gratitude. I’ve had so many wonderful people in my life who’ve shown me what love and care really mean, and now, it’s my turn to pass that on. The idea of guiding a little one through life, teaching them right from wrong, and helping them navigate their own journey is both humbling and exciting.
The Future: Embracing the Unpredictable
Of course, as with all major life changes, there are uncertainties. There’s no blueprint for motherhood—no set of instructions on how to do it “right.” But one thing I do know is that I’ll always strive to be present, loving, and understanding. I want to create a safe space for our baby, where they feel loved, supported, and free to be themselves.
I think back to my own childhood and how my parents created such a nurturing environment for me, and I hope to do the same for my child. Whether it’s through quiet moments or exciting adventures, I want to give our little one the chance to explore the world with wonder and curiosity, just as I did.
In my heart, I feel ready. I’m not saying there won’t be challenges, of course—but I believe that with love, patience, and trust in myself, I’ll be able to navigate whatever comes my way. There’s beauty in the unknown, and I’m eager to embrace this new chapter, knowing that it will shape me into the mother I’ve always dreamed of becoming.
