A place for new families to connect

8th month

This week we approach the 8 month mark. What a journey it has been! Everyone says it has flown by except me (Nicole). In the first few months, I for the most part felt tortured by pregnancy. I was so consistently nauseaus, that time seemed to move painfully slowly. It was definitely the most physically challenging time of my life...so far. Since then, I've been savoring each moment of pregnancy. Certainly it still has its challenges, but those challenges are either minimal, or what I would consider a 'labor of love'. I am thrilled to be able to have this experience of holding the space for a new life to grow and develop. What a gift! I feel so blessed and so deeply connected to the creative force of the universe. It is a very powerful and awesome feeling. Needless to say, I have been relishing the experience, and don't want to take a moment for granted. Thankfully the last few months have continued to progress slowly and gracefully for me.

Again, what a gift this time is...time to reflect, to nurture, to grow along with this new being. It is a time of wonder, of dreams, of hopes and also of letting go of expectations and preparing for the unknown. I love it!
