I’m not ready (yet!)

“Sometimes the struggle is what makes success even sweeter." Maybe you're the planning type. You studied for the SATs. ? You interned your way to a job offer. You Google-stalked your Tinder match-turned-husband. ?️♀️ But this whole motherhood thing? Honesty time: We're all just winging it. ✔️ You can't ever really be "ready" for morning sickness, or your water breaking in CVS (true story) or 3 am newborn feedings. You just show up, do your best and grow more deeply in love each step of the way. What we're trying to say is you can't really make yourself ready for motherhood—becoming a mother makes you ready. Hang on, little lady, because it's going to be a wild ride. XO, TeamMotherly P.S. Get slightly more ready for baby by taking a prenatal vitamin. It's one of the best things you can do to give your baby a healthy start in life.
