If you didn’t know before from our posts — I’m pregnant!
Can you believe it? I sure couldn’t at first! But you know what… this pregnancy just feels different.

I’m 41, running a business, raising three boys, and somehow getting ready to welcome another little boy … yes, four boys!
And honestly, after the initial shock wore off, I’ve never felt more grateful.

A Different Kind of Ready

Back then, I focused on getting everything ready - the lists, the nursery, the plan. I’d stay up late scrolling, comparing, and stressing over all the little things that didn’t actually matter.

Now, I’m focused on being ready present, grateful, and at peace with wherever life takes us.

I’m choosing peace over perfect.
I don’t need every corner of the house to look ready by the time he comes what I want this time is for our home to feel ready. Warm, loved, lived-in, and full of joy.

That shift has changed everything.

Sweet Moments That Hit Different

My boys are older now, and they get to be part of this in a whole new way. Watching them help, seeing Joe get excited again it’s wild and sweet all at once.

Finn asked me this morning if it’s okay to hug me because he doesn’t want to “smash his brother.” My heart just about melted. These are the moments I’ll hold onto, the ordinary ones that make this season so special.

Finding Joy in the In-Between

It’s different because I’m different.
I’ve learned how to slow down, let go of control, and find joy in the in-between — in the mess, the laughter, the naps, the late-night kicks, all of it.

There’s something about being pregnant later in life that opens your eyes. You stop focusing on how things should look and start embracing how they feel.

You realize you can’t do it all and that’s actually the best news ever. You learn to rest in the middle, to find rhythm instead of balance, and to trust that what’s meant for you will always find you.

I’ve learned to laugh more, stress less, and savor the slow moments even when life feels full and loud. Because that’s where peace really lives.

At 41, I’m not chasing balance anymore I’m chasing peace.
And honestly? That’s the most beautiful part of this season.

Okay, but don’t let me kid you — the nursery is definitely already planned out and ready to start. 😉

Meg,
