Well as some of you may know, I am almost 30 weeks into my journey with Future Motherhood.

It truly has been a roller coaster thus far and now my Little Bean will be here in just a couple of months.

They weren’t kidding when telling me “take all of the help you can get,” because now, well let’s just say it’s getting hard to bend over! I mean, don’t get me wrong, I have my days where I feel I have what I like to call the zoomies (yes, similar to dog zoomies) and go to the extremities with nesting. Then, I have my days where I just want to relax and take in the peace and stillness before the big day. So even though my mind is racing a thousand miles a minute, I have since learned how important it is to find that balance between preparation both physically and mentally.

Even though my days have been a wave of mixed emotions, I wake up every day and give thanks. I show my gratitude that it’s a new day and one-day closer until I meet my son, Elijah. I think about what life will look like finally having my child in my arms, and it brings me the greatest joy.

I have never felt such genuine happiness and fulfillment, and I think that is what motherhood is supposed to feel like.

I think about all of the times I have made my mom happy, excited, nervous, sad, or even angry (well… just all the emotions), and yet she says to this day that her children are her greatest gift of Love. You see, I am finally beginning to understand this.

Never did I think I would find love, and now, I can say with one hundred percent certainty, that I have. Elijah Evertt is and will always be my one true love, and finally, in just several weeks I will be able to look into those big eyes of his and tell him.

The days are fleeting, especially in today’s society. So appreciate all of the little moments in life that bring you joy and hold onto the memories for the hard days to come. I know for me, I will always remember this feeling of my son kicking, even after birth. I want to hold onto it, as it always seems to make me smile.

Surround yourself with Those who lift you up. Every Day. Life is too short for negative energy and bad relationships. For those good Ones, fight for them. Forgive them. Move through life with T h e m. Those are the Ones you want to hold onto and never let go of. Those are the Ones, who will get you through the storms.

Today was a day where I saw someone for who they truly were. There have been multiple instances like this in my life, where people who I thought were close to me, exposed their true colors making it inevitable to weed them out. Each time this happens, it just gives me affirmation and gratitude for my Loved Ones who I know will never leave my side. Those I never have to name, because they know they always have my back.

I saw a cool quote today regarding Earth Angels.

“Some people appear in your life when you need them most.
They love you and lift you up, reminding you of the b e s t,
Even when you are going through your w o r s t
These people are not just friends,
They are Earth Angels.”
– Anna Grace Taylor

Hang onto your Earth Angels Everyone, because they are the ones who will always look out for you.
