Since welcoming my little one six months ago, I’ve come to realize that motherhood is often a waiting game. Patience has never been my strong suit, but being a mom has tested and stretched that virtue like never before. After the nine months of anticipation during pregnancy, a whole new chapter of waiting begins once the baby arrives.
Some waits can drive you up the wall, while others can tug at your heartstrings.
To the mom waiting for your adorable bundle to make their grand entrance:
Savor every moment. These days fly by faster than you can imagine. I know you’re feeling anxious and overwhelmed, but trust me—you’ve got this. You’re stronger than you think, and soon enough, your baby will be in your arms, and you’ll find yourself missing those gentle little kicks.
To the mom whose “baby” is making questionable choices:
Hang in there, Mom. Keep the faith alive, and pray—really pray. I can’t fully understand what you’re going through, but I’m rooting for you. I hope your child, regardless of age, finds their way back home and discovers a path guided by love.
To the mom with a baby in the NICU:
I feel you deeply. I still have vivid memories of my little one in the hospital, connected to monitors. Whether it’s been hours or months, the worry never seems to fade. Each moment brings new challenges and heartaches. My prayer for you is that you find daily reasons to praise and feel strength for the journey ahead.
To the mom anxiously awaiting the next milestone:
It’s normal to question if your baby is on track or why they seem to be lagging behind. I’ve been there, pondering why my child wasn’t rolling over or teething yet. It’s easy to wish these moments away, but I encourage you to celebrate the present.
To the mom waiting for your child to come home:
Whether your little one is overseas defending our freedom or out on their first date, the waiting can be agonizing. I can’t imagine the thoughts racing through your mind—just know you raised them right. May you find peace and strength as you wait for their return.
To the mom craving a moment of peace:
The days can feel endless, laundry piles up, and the kids are in full chaos mode. You’re tired, maybe even a bit frazzled. But rest assured, this stage won’t last forever. One day, they’ll be more independent, and you’ll find yourself waiting up for them to come home rather than rocking them to sleep. Remember to take a deep breath and prioritize some self-care amid the chaos.
Motherhood isn’t for the faint-hearted. It’s filled with ups and downs—boo-boos, tears, milestones, and moments of pure joy. It’s a challenging gig, but it’s the role we embrace right now. I pray you find the strength to endure all the waiting, whether it’s for the next big milestone or life-changing news.

In conclusion, remember, you’re not alone in this waiting game. Each stage of motherhood comes with its own set of challenges and rewards, so take heart and embrace the journey!
