This brought me right back to that hospital room — the constant fear of doing something wrong, the weight checks, the milestones, all on top of first-time mom anxiety. So reassuring to see that while the fear and uncertainty resurface in new ways, the precious human who fought to be here is thriving because of (and not despite) the choices you’ve made.
I’m so glad it resonated. I think all of us moms have different fears or anxieties no matter the situation. We try our best, but also, our babies are so strong and resilient.
Bri, this is such a beautiful and honest reflection.
The way you describe the NICU — that haze of worry, the way each tiny milestone became its own universe — brought me right back to those early days of mothering through uncertainty.
Your reminder to take it one milestone at a time is so needed, especially when the world feels heavy with decisions.
Thank you for sharing your heart and for naming the strength that grows in us, even (and especially) when we feel unsure.
Cheering you on as you step into this next season — one small victory at a time 🤍
Thanks Bri for sharing this beautiful read and the reminder. We often worry too much about now. But looking back, we realized how much have achieved. Be proud “We take what comes at us in strides.”
And only by looking back, we realize how fast time flies. A day feels like a year. But just a blink of the eyes, kids grow up. Thanks for this timely reminder.
Thank you for the kind words. You’re right, it’s so helpful to look back and see how far we’ve come (in all the aspects of raising kids). It helps put everything into perspective.
