At this point, I’m not even sleeping. I’m just participating in an 8-hour survival challenge with bathroom breaks. 🫠 35+ weeks pregnant and I’d like to formally apologize to my husband for whatever version of me he’s been sharing a bed with. Pregnant mamas, what’s the ONE symptom that’s personally victimizing you right now? 😂👇🏼 I need to know I’m not fighting for my life alone every night. #35WeeksPregnant #ThirdTrimester #PregnancyHumor #PregnancyReality #MomHumor

I think we need to normalize nesting parties instead of baby showers. 🥹🤍 Today, some of the most incredible women in my life showed up at my house to shower me with something I desperately needed in this season of life.Their time. Their hands. Their energy. Their love. My oven was cleaned. The refrigerator and freezer were cleaned. Cabinets were wiped down, the pantry was organized, and the floors were vacuumed and mopped. All baby clothing was washed. Her bottles were cleaned. My older children’s bedrooms were cleaned, and so many of those little tasks that have been sitting on my never-ending to-do list were finally crossed off. And as if that wasn’t enough, they showed up with freezer meals. Here’s something I’ve learned after nearly four babies - the most meaningful gift you can give a mother isn’t something wrapped in a pretty bag. Sometimes it’s simply showing up and saying, “You don’t have to do all of this by yourself.” Today was such a beautiful reminder that we were never meant to do motherhood alone. There’s something incredibly humbling about allowing people into your home, into your mess, and into the unfinished corners of your life. Not the perfectly decorated, company-ready version of your home - The real one. And instead of judgment, I was met with love. Instead of feeling embarrassed, I felt overwhelmingly grateful that I had people willing to do it alongside me. Galatians 6:2: “Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” This is what loving people looks like in action. Not just saying, “Let me know if you need anything.” But actually showing up. With willing hands. With servant hearts. To every single person who came, helped, cleaned, organized, cooked, or contributed in any way… Thank you. From the absolute bottom of my heart. You reminded me how deeply loved and supported our family is. I will never forget that. Pt 2 in comments #NestingParty #PregnancyJourney #MotherhoodUnfiltered #ItTakesAVillage #FourthTimeMom
