(Un)expecting

<p>Do you know what you're doing having a baby?</p><p>Really. Do you? Because I didn't.</p><p>I had no idea that my life would be so irrevocably different. Despite the outpourings of advice (wanted and otherwise) I found myself lost. Constantly surrounded yet completely alone. I didn't know what I didn't know until I knew it. I didn't know what to expect - and learned that there should be no expectation. </p><p>The journey into motherhood is life-changing in every regard. For me it was (and continues to be) the most simultaneously underwhelming and overwhelming thing that I have ever experienced. It is raw. It is challenging. It is tumultuous. It is beautiful. </p><p>What started as cathartic journaling for me has turned into a love letter to you.</p><p>I see you. I get it. Take me on your journey with you and remember that you're never alone. Remember that you are enough.</p>
