What is up, Daddy Gang? It is your founding father, Alex Cooper with Her Daddy.
Okay, are we ready?
Here we go.
Woo! Daddy Gang, welcome to a very special episode of Her Daddy.
I am pregnant and we're just gonna get right into it today.
Oh my God, I have been so excited to share this news with you guys. And I definitely went back and forth on when that would be and how I would even do it. But now that we are here, I cannot wait to share all of the fun and the emotional things that I have been going through during this pregnancy. The last time I spoke about my feelings around having kids was exactly a year ago. And for anyone who missed it, I basically came on the podcast and I shared that in the summer of 2024, right after Matt and I had gotten married, and we basically talked about how we were ready to start having kids. And that was our goal. And then shortly after that, in that summer, I decided actually, wait, no, I'm not ready. I'm not ready at all. And so we made the mutual decision to pause on starting a family in the summer of 2024 Because I really wanted to prioritize our relationship. I wanted to prioritize work and I wanted, honestly, most importantly, to prioritize myself. And overall, I just felt like I needed a little bit more time and I was not ready to take on motherhood just yet. And so now, almost two years later, I lived, I did kind of what feels like everything I wanted to do. And now I am pregnant and I couldn't be happier. I couldn't be happier that I waited. And I couldn't be happier for this next chapter of my life. And so I want to do a little story time of how this all came to be.
I do, before I get into it, I want to acknowledge, coming in here today, I was like, I'm so aware that the topic of pregnancy and the process of getting pregnant and everything that surrounds it can be very understandably sensitive and difficult for a lot of women. And so I just want to be really mindful today that as much as this is a very exciting time and a celebration, I also want to hold space for the women who may be on a different part of their own journey right now. And I'm thinking about you and I'm sending you so much love. And I love you Daddy Gang and I support you.
