Yeah, babe. You really are. I have wanted you for so long. I wrote poems every month for the children that did not happen, and oh, babe, how I wanted you. Three years, I had prayed for you. And now you are here. When asked what I need for my birthday, there is nothing because I have you. I have #thebestgiftever. I haven’t talked much about getting pregnant, and it wasn’t even until #OurMorganGlory was born that I told my mom about how long it took and some of the procedures/tests that I had done. Even with some of the complexities that popped up during pregnancy (and our stay in the #NICU), every blood test, invasive ultrasound, every negative pregnancy test; it was all worth it for you, babe. #babylove #firsttimeparents #birthday #birthdaygift

As I look around my messy living room, my makeshift planning space, #OurMorganGlory is stirring after another failed attempt at napping, and I am reminded of my word for 2019: MOMENT. I love how the word “Mom” is in moment. As a new mom, I am reminding myself of so much in this one word: be in the moment (and don’t worry about other moments), embrace the moment (it may not be what you planned but adapt), appreciate these moments (as they won’t last forever). I am also reminded of my favourite Anne Frank quote: "How wonderful it is that no one has to wait, but can start right now to gradually change the world!" Today, I answered a few messages and emails about community building since Morgan’s birth. It’s not much; maybe tomorrow I will tackle another email and another way to #changetheworld. . . . #happyplanner #plannercommunity #planner #planneraddict #plannergirl #plannerlove #plannerstickers #stickers #thehappyplanner #plannerbabe #plannerlife #plannernerd #mambi #planning #plannerjunkie #erincondren #meandmybigideas #planwithme #planahappylife #embracethediscs #plannergoodies #plannerobsessed #iamahappyplanner #plannermom

Absolutely blown away by the #MayWeSuggest tote put together by @kitchenerlibrary that I picked up today. They took my suggestions really to heart, with books for #OurMorganGlory, books for @jewilliam and I to read to keep #ourmorganglory alive and fed well (#firsttimeparents), and a novel by an #Indigenous writer that I haven’t read before! With a newborn, I’ve got a really short window of time between naps, feedings and changes to run around. Having an already put together list of books is a lifesaver! I hope KPL keeps this program for the long haul. Check out your neighbourhood #KPL, including my favourite branch, Central in #dtklove, to ask about getting your own #maywesuggest list. #librarylove

Later on, we'll conspire As we dream by the fire To face unafraid The plans that we've made Walking in a winter wonderland #ourmorganglory 💕🎄👶🏽 #babysfirstchristmas
