I’ve been an animal mom on here for a long time, and now I’m welcoming a little human into it all, one who will help love and care for the animals that make this place home. I can’t wait to teach him what kindness to animals and to life really looks like. To help him understand and appreciate where food comes from, whether from the earth or from animals, and to let him get his hands dirty, whether climbing wood piles or splashing in our backyard creek. It was always meant for him. We intentionally left a gap in the field when we planted the fruit trees he will pick afternoon snacks from. We built this life with him in mind over the last five years. We’ve been waiting for him, and we are so excited. 💙 #firsttimemom #FTM #firsttrimester #pregnant
