gender of our baby | the sweetest surprise

we have decided this time to be surprised with the gender of our baby. and it has been so beautiful.

the thought of each brings such a deep sense of peace
i loved the moment we found out with each one of our boys and the strong connection i felt… but this just feels so right. to trust we will be given exactly what we are meant to receive. i feel like the older i get, the more i have learned to lean into all that is given.

lately, time seems to be passing through me like a rushing river. it was just a couple minutes ago we broke down once hearing that hammering heartbeat.

this sacred pregnancy, however fleeting, is sweet. i appreciate everything. i see everything. and i smile at the littlest of nothings. i rub almond butter on my belly and quietly pray and sing waiting for him to respond. or her

i found this darling vintage bassinet around christmas time- for our most prayed for gift.
and come mid-summer, our much loved baby will be tenderly snuggled inside.

to love
