It’s a magical time, this threshold of welcoming a new human into the world.
I keep trying to grasp it … in a few weeks, a baby will be here. I keep silently working it through, trying to help my mind understand it: this young life that is now stretching and moving inside of me will soon be outside of me, a person – a person!!! – that I will get to look at and meet and hold.
It’s too strange and big of a transition for the mind to grasp, really.
And it’s wonderfully mysterious and baffling and exciting.
Like most second time moms, I possess mostly amnesia about what it was like to care for a newborn. But I can recall attempting to get just a few simple things done each day (such as shower, eat something substantial/warm – not just another granola bar – send that one email …) and often failing to get that simple list done, again and again.
Based on that, I’m going to tentatively guess I won’t be blogging prolifically in the next few months. 😉
But, I do have lots of wonderful things lined up for you for the coming months …

Yes, I will do my best to let you all know when baby is safely arrived – thank you for asking about that and for caring!

I’m so excited for you and your family! Sending holiday love and blessings for your new little person. 💕
Sending lot of love and good wishes for your new arrival! Will be thinking of you over the coming months.
Thank you for this blog, which always seems to arrive just at the right time in my inbox with such inspiring thoughts and ideas that I find transformative when I implement into my own life and work.
Whoa whoa whoa!!!!! Didn’t know you are expecting! Wonderful. Beautiful. All good thoughts and love to you.
I din’t know you were expecting either, how exciting !!! I am way past this magical time of motherhood (not too much but still, my youngest is 6) -one of them hahaha- and I am sending you tons and tons of good vibes. Just keep 4 things in mind : rest when the baby rest, really * keep hydrated, always *take time for yourself weekly *take time for your couple and ouh, I almost forgot : mother knows best so go with your gut !! :))
Good luuuuuck for D-day ! It might sounds selfish but I am looking forward for you coming back blogging :))
Best wishes Tara for a healthy happy baby.
happy Christmas to you and your family
Sending prayers and love and joy to you as you usher your next little one in to the world during the holidays.
Bishaah Tova your description of caring for a newborn is exactly how I remember it 🙂
Best wishes Tara to lots of special moments! A loving “call” — take time for you & your family — we’ll be here when you’re ready 🙂
Tara,
Love and well wishes for an easy and simple delivery! We are excited and happy for you.
Your to-do list description made me laugh and was spot-on. I remember driving my newborn to a Dr. check-up while eating turkey deli meat straight out of the bag—that was lunch! I’m sure you’ll do better then that.
I look forward to your Wednesday archived blog posts.
Sending holiday and newborn joy to you and your family. I hope you enjoy this magical time.
