Nothing is as terrifying and overwhelming as being pregnant with your third child while the little one at home has only just become a toddler. It is a journey that is frightening in itself, and even more so when it is a high-risk pregnancy.
This pregnancy demanded so much of me. It was an uphill climb, over and over again, and there were moments when I wondered how I would keep going. Now, as this journey is coming to an end, it all feels surreal. It feels unreal, like a dream I never truly believed would come true.
Throughout this pregnancy, I have told so many people how unplanned it was. I have spoken about how hard it has been, how unexpected it was, and how much fear came with it.
But there is one thing I never told anyone.
I never said how incredibly blessed I feel. I never said how deeply grateful I am for this pregnancy, or for the privilege of experiencing the bliss of motherhood for the third time. What an immense, immeasurable blessing it is.
No matter how unplanned, how scary, or how risky this journey has been, it will always remain one of the greatest blessings of my life.
My daughter — my most precious gem. 💕
