The Thrill of Pregnancy

[Birth & Babies - II]

Pregnancy happens in an instant. It’s thrilling

But birth is still a long way off. And it’s hard work.

Don’t confuse the thrill of your idea with the long hard work of delivering it to the world. Don't hold them too far apart, either. Nothing is born without both.

And when the thrill wears off—two months, five months, nine months in—it’s not a reflection on the value and importance of what you’re fashioning, growing, or building. Remember that the idea was an important birth, too. One that you were divinely given, not by accident.

Push on, my friends. Your gift to the world is needed now more than ever.
