This is my first time on your substack. As a fellow home school mother of five, also surprise pregnant with baby number six (due in March), this poem made me cry. I can’t help worrying that even though baby’s almost here, what if something goes wrong, what if the next six weeks are “too hard”, your beautiful words are filled with encouragement and truth. Thank you for sharing.
