Tomorrow, we meet Baby A.
And this time, nesting looks different.
Last time, I was washing tiny onesies and arranging the nursery.
This time, Iโm relooking at Baby L newborn videos.
Memorising the way Baby L looks before she knows life is about to change.
Sitting a little longer in our routines.
Being grateful at the way she still reaches for us like Iโm her whole world.
I still am.
But Iโm also about to ask her to share me.
So we keep telling her, again and again:
You are so deeply loved. Nothing about that changes.
Nobody talks about the grief alongside the joy.
The guilt sitting right next to the excitement.
This is matrescence โ not just becoming a mother,
but becoming a mother again. Differently.
With a bigger heart than you knew you had.
If youโre in this, youโre not alone. ๐ค
