I've been thinking about the future a lot lately. Being pregnant with this third baby has me wondering what things will be like in the years ahead. What seeds am I planting now that will be growing in a year or two? What can I do to curate the life I want now and then?

Whenever I tell our son’s birth story, I lead with the punchline. We got to the hospital at 4 am and he was born at 4:28 am.

Everyone copes with pregnancy in different ways. Now that my baby is one, I'm looking back at how I poured my heart into the project of being pregnant.
