Wow, there is so much you’ve articulated here — so many tunnels of thought experiments and existential questioning. Thanks for sharing it all. I want to hug you. Being pregnant IS hard. And yet on the whole, I just want to say YAY! You’re halfway there and you’re living your truth and that deserves a celebration in the midst of all the vomit drama (which I lol’d at). Baby boy will be worth it <333
Thanks for the shoutout Kendall, and congratulations! I also struggled a lot with how to announce my recent pregnancy, and so I wrote this fraught and somewhat self-loathing pregnancy announcement, but it felt true to me and my journey :) https://raekatz.substack.com/p/another-effing-pregnancy-announcement
Been wondering what you were up to! Congratulations and welcome to the club 💕
One more thing! My favorite parenting writers are Kathryn Jezer-Morton and Evie Ebert!
Thank you! Despite my fears, I am so excited to be a part of this club!! And thank you for the writer recs, I will look into both!

Thank you, Rachael!! <3 Talking to you always helps me interrogate my black & white thinking. Pregnancy is hard/scary AND wonderful/exciting!
