Almost 39 weeks pregnant, and I’ve never felt so Almost 39 weeks pregnant, and I’ve never felt so worn down. Every part of me feels stretched, tired, and heavy. Some mornings, I wake up already defeated—and I haven’t even gotten out of bed yet. I didn’t know it would be this hard. 

Pregnancy alone is a lot. But being pregnant while mothering a toddler 24/7 is a kind of endurance I couldn’t have prepared for. I completely underestimated it. 

Lately, I feel like I’m doing everything and yet accomplishing nothing. The dishes get done, but somehow they’re back in the sink an hour later. Toys are picked up, only to be scattered across the floor again within minutes. 

I’ve been decluttering like crazy—trying to carve out some space in our home and, if I’m honest, in my mind too. But the house still feels chaotic. Unfinished. Like no matter how much I do, I’m always behind. 

There are piles of paperwork I haven’t touched. A to-do list that grows faster than I can cross anything off. And all the while, this quiet sense that time is slipping through my fingers. 

I keep telling myself that I should be stronger. That I should be able to do more. That I should be handling this better. But the truth is—I’m overwhelmed. 

Even the moments of joy feel tinged with something heavier. A quiet ache I carry, even in the laughter. 

It’s surreal knowing we’ll be a family of four this month… and my heart and mind are still trying to catch up to that reality. 

Will I be enough for both of them? How will my toddler handle the shift? Will he look at me differently? I wonder how I’ll divide myself—my time, my energy, my love. How I’ll meet both of their needs when, some days, I can barely meet my own. 

They say your love multiplies, and I want to believe that. But if I’m honest… I’m scared. 

Scared that it won’t. Or that it will, but not fast enough. That someone will feel left behind in the transition—maybe him, maybe me. 

Most of the time, it feels like I’m wrestling with my own thoughts—trying to stay grounded in the now, while already spiraling into guilt over the future. 

I want to believe I’ll rise to meet this new chapter with grace. That something in me will open wide and make room for all of it.

The first trimester of my second pregnancy has bee The first trimester of my second pregnancy has been nothing like I expected. It’s been a struggle—physically and emotionally—and there were days I truly didn’t know how I’d make it through. But even in the hardest moments, I’m learning to find beauty in this journey. If you’re going through something similar, please know—you’re not alone.

This holiday season was one of the hardest I’ve This holiday season was one of the hardest I’ve faced. Unlike my first pregnancy, this one has truly brought me to my knees. The constant nausea, anxiety, and exhaustion have pushed me to my limits, leaving me feeling more defeated than I ever imagined. I had so many plans to make this Christmas special, but reality had other plans.

Most days, I could barely manage to leave the couch, and there were many moments when I felt completely overwhelmed, physically and emotionally drained. The guilt of not being able to create the magic my son deserves has been crushing. Instead of festive adventures, we spent most of our time watching Christmas movies, just trying to get through each day. 

At 17 weeks pregnant, I’m still far from feeling like myself. But this season has taught me the importance of slowing down and finding joy in the little things. Right now, I’m holding on to the moments we have as a family of three, knowing they won’t last forever. 

To all the moms who had a hard time this holiday season: you’re not alone. I hope you found moments of love and warmth, even if things didn’t go as planned. We’re all doing the best we can, and that’s more than enough.
