Alongside a picture of her cradling her bump, she wrote: “Feeling it all and so happy to share.
“I’ve been growing into a mama oh so quietly and discreetly. Tip toeing a tightrope with the ebs and flow of pregnancy… finding the seclusion exactly what I/we needed to captain the last seven months together, so much joy, so many belly laughs, so much belly, so much morning sickness and moment of fears.
“Experiencing this journey without too much noise around us… allowing ourselves to be fully immersed into this reality we hold, giving us the time to adjust and feel but really feel.
“To stop and listen, cutting out the hot noise shaped by other experiences whether they be good or bad, it’s allowed our journey to be deeply intimate and intuitive.
“We now feel our little person kicking and limbering up! And now we sit looking at each other wide-eyed smiling nervously at the wonder beauty and weirdness of what we are right now and what’s to come… holding this beautiful space and feeling so grateful.”
Congratulations!
