And so I want to do a little story time of how this all came to be.

I do, before I get into it, I want to acknowledge coming in here today, I was like,

I'm so aware that the topic of pregnancy and the process of getting pregnant and everything that surrounds it can be very understandably sensitive and difficult for a lot of women.

And so I just want to be really mindful today that as much as this is a very exciting time and a celebration, I also want to hold space for the women who

may be on a different part of their own journey right now.

And I'm thinking about you and I'm sending you so much love and I love you, Daddy Gang, and I support you.

Okay, so let's rewind a little bit.

So throughout the period where Matt and I had put the decision to start trying to get pregnant on hold, we were having constant check-ins.

And as more and more time went on and we traveled and we accomplished certain goals we had set for ourselves,

your girl started to get the itch.

And I remember the exact night, I remember telling Matt, we were in the hot tub, we were having one of like our whiskey nights.

And I just looked at him and I said,

We have had such an incredible time of pouring into our relationship, building a strong foundation, being with our family.

Now that my family's out in LA, like we spend so much time with them.

And literally all I can think about, the only thing that feels like it's truly missing right now is a child and starting our own family together.

And I have never felt more ready.

And when I said that out loud in that moment, it was such an exciting feeling, but also,

I don't know how to describe it.

Like it almost felt just like such a calm feeling as well, maybe.

Calm?
