This episode is a vulnerable one; the shadow side of (your) (and my) becoming — all of the complexities that added up to allow me to choose becoming a mother FULLY. There were many moments of my pregnancy journey that I faced doubt & fear, but this is a love letter to you, Shayan, so that you will always know that even in the moments of uncertainty: you were so surrounded in love. This is also a reflection in the many emotions & hormones that can be present in the first trimester, and a reminder that there is no need to judge a mama who is feeling all the feels, as it is always a part of her journey towards being ready to become a parent (solo or otherwise!)
