A joyful pregnancy in uncertain times This was
supposed to be your time. Your time to be
surrounded by family, friends and well-wishers.
Your time to feel the warm touch of future
grandparents, aunts and uncles. Your time to sit
face to face with others who have undergone the
incredible journey of pregnancy and to soak up
all the advice and counsel possible. Your time
for gender reveal parties, showers and
celebrations. In a few short weeks, the jarring
and unfathomable arrival of COVID-19 changed
everything. All of the joy and community you had
anticipated has been replaced with solitude,
anxiety and uncertainty. Each day, more changes,
and seemingly, more is taken away. We hear from
expectant mothers daily about just how terrifying
a pregnancy is during this

unprecedented time. How separation from family
and loved ones takes a monumental toll. How
infinitely complicated a delivery may be during a
quarantine. How those first, precious days of new
life will be lived in a solitary and upside-down
world. And while the path to joy is now more
winding, the miracle of childbirth is greater and
more enduring than any of the challenges you are
facing today.

Let me share with you my most precious memories
of bringing my three children into the world. I
remember the feeling of excitement and limitless
possibility each time I felt their movements
inside me, each passing day bringing more
expectation and excitement for their arrival as
they rolled, pushed, kicked and prodded. I
remember the hearing their first cry as they
arrived, knowing that I would be the one to show
them all of the new discoveries and opportunities
that would await them in their new world.

I remember their fascination with even the
smallest things in the world around them and
feeling inspired for what would await them with
each passing day lullabies, butterflies,
sunrises and sunsets. I remember all that they
would teach me about true patience, true reward,
and most importantly, true love. I remember the
sounds, large and small, from loud cries to tiny
gurgles, and every subtle movement that affirmed
that they were alive, they were mine, and I was
theirs.

These are the memories that will endure, and the
moments that not even a global pandemic can take
away. They will take permanent residence in your
heart and they will be with you for every
remaining minute of your life. When you strip
away the ceremony and the formality, the essence
of joyreal joy bursts forward in beautiful
colors and glorious music. And even when
everything changes, nothing changes. This is your
time. This was always your time.
