Well… apparently the baby years aren’t over after all. 🥹😂
Baby #4 is coming in 2027. 🤍
This was a COMPLETE surprise.
There I was, feeling all the feelings about our youngest graduating preschool, thinking about how all three kids would finally be at the same school this fall and how we were moving into this whole new stage of parenting…
Fast forward a few weeks and I’m in San Diego, alone with all three kids, staring at a positive pregnancy test. 😳
My husband wasn’t even there. I had no idea how—or when—I was going to tell him. We’d gotten rid of the baby gear. There will be a pretty big age gap. And finding out I was pregnant again over 40 definitely came with a LOT to process.
But underneath all of the shock?
We are SO incredibly excited. 🥹🤍
This little baby may not have been part of our plan, but he or she is already so, so loved.
There’s a whole story behind finding out, telling my husband, telling the kids, navigating a surprise fourth pregnancy, being pregnant over 40, and starting the baby years all over again—and I’ll share all of it.
And as a prenatal & postpartum trainer who has spent years helping other women navigate pregnancy, postpartum and motherhood… apparently I’m getting another opportunity to live it right alongside you. 😂🤰
So I guess I’m officially entering my mom-of-four era. 🥹
Now I want to hear about YOU:
Where are you in your family chapter right now? 👇
🤰 Growing our family
🤍 Done & loving this stage
😂 We think we’re done…
👀 Still undecided
🫶 Somewhere in between
Tell me below. I have a feeling I’m not the only one whose “plan” looked a little different from reality. 😂🤍
