Despite thinking baby was going to come early, we’ve made it to our induction date! We go in tomorrow at 8PM, so baby will be born on the 21st💛

This will mean the absolute world to me as it will also be my mom’s birthday, who I unexpectedly lost to a massive brain hemorrhage this last thanksgiving—she was only 43 + SO full of life.

•

She was the BEST Grammie to my 2 year old, (the one grandparent that has that extra special, magical connection with your kids out of all the others if you know what I mean), and she was so excited to meet her second grand baby. And was even more excited for the chance that they could share a birthday!!

•

As miserably uncomfortable as I am so pregnant, I’m elated to be able to have my daughter share a birthday with my mom, and can’t think of a better way to honor her—I know she’s probably smiling so big in Heaven about it all.

•

Just had to share this sliver of joy and positivity amongst all the other feelings of uncertainty and frustration from having to deliver during this crazy virus.

Side note: any mamas who have had an evening induction before have any tips?? I’ll be reviving a foley bulb and this is my second baby. Would love any advice or tips you may have as I’m starting to feel anxious and a little nervous 🙈
