It is my first Mother’s Day with Liv. And there are not enough words to describe how special, amazing and grateful I feel to have this unforgettable day with her.

Our first Mother’s Day.

But it is not my first Mother’s Day.

As a mother of an angel, a Sternenmama, a mamange to Ella and Little Star — it stings a bit for people to tell me “Welcome to the club” only this time around. I know what they mean and obviously. they mean well. But I have been in this mama club longer than 2025 — just differently. In my opinion anyway.

Because a pregnancy is a baby in the making.

All my love to all the mothers .

Those celebrating in person, in spirit, in prayers and in wishful thinking.

I understand how today can bring out complicated feelings as well.

And I see you. I feel you. I honour you.
