The calendar flipped to 2026, the holidays are packed away, and suddenly the countdown feels louder. There’s a baby coming. Soon. And life is shifting again. This pregnancy has felt different than I expected. Not bad, just layered. More thoughtful. More emotional. Less about the novelty and more about the impact on everyone already here. A New Year That Feels Like a Threshold There’s something...]]></description><link>https://www.thecalmmamalife.com/post/30-weeks-pregnant-and-stepping-into-2026-with-a-full-heart</link><guid isPermaLink="false">695969f1bd1cfb4bde798f2e</guid><pubDate>Sat, 03 Jan 2026 19:19:01 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/6d781c_f4b46b972e064b8490cbf453cf636115~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>The Cozy Current</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Christmas Is Around the Corner: A Five-Year-Old’s Excitement and Being 27 Weeks Pregnant]]></title><description><![CDATA[Christmas is around the corner, and this year it feels different in the best, most tender way. I’m 27 weeks pregnant, moving slower than usual, feeling every kick and stretch, while living alongside a five-year-old who is absolutely convinced that Christmas is the most important thing happening in the world. And honestly, watching the season unfold through his excitement has softened everything. This isn’t a picture-perfect Christmas. It’s a real one. And right now, that feels exactly right....]]></description><link>https://www.thecalmmamalife.com/post/christmas-is-around-the-corner-a-five-year-old-s-excitement-and-being-27-weeks-pregnant</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69408a9dd19d766cc63ee689</guid><pubDate>Mon, 15 Dec 2025 22:29:59 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/6d781c_43ed10380d364a50918094c4299e188f~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>The Cozy Current</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Perfect Holiday Gift for an Expecting Mama: The Calm Mama Pregnancy Planner]]></title><description><![CDATA[The holidays are full of excitement — and for an expecting mama, they can also bring a lot of overwhelm.

The truth? I don’t. The dishes sit. The laundry waits. The dog sometimes wins. What I  do  is show up. I show up for my stepson when he wants me to play army guys. I show up for my husband when he needs to vent about work. I show up for this baby growing inside me, even when all I can do is rest. Keeping sane isn’t about balance—it’s about grace. And right now, grace looks like paper plates, 10-minute showers, and laughing at the madness...]]></description><link>https://www.thecalmmamalife.com/post/keeping-sane-sort-of</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69100491b36e4578ddce470a</guid><pubDate>Wed, 08 Oct 2025 06:00:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/6d781c_7351f2b24b9a4f19a3faeee6625217f3~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Harper Lane</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marriage in the Mayhem]]></title><description><![CDATA[My husband and I used to go on spontaneous date nights. Now our dates look more like splitting a milkshake in the car while the kiddo is at Karate. Romantic? Honestly, yes. When life gets this full, marriage has to be about the small stuff: him bringing me crackers when I can’t keep food down, me taking the puppy out when he’s already half-asleep. We laugh in between the chaos because if we don’t, we’ll cry—and sometimes we do both. It’s not glamorous, but it’s real. And real is where love...]]></description><link>https://www.thecalmmamalife.com/post/marriage-in-the-mayhem</link><guid isPermaLink="false">691003d4b36e4578ddce45b0</guid><pubDate>Wed, 01 Oct 2025 06:00:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/6d781c_68f48c61219f45c99567bd7653a91600~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Harper Lane</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[First Trimester Exhaustion Is Real]]></title><description><![CDATA[I thought pregnancy would feel glowing and magical right away. Instead, it feels like I’ve been hit by a bus made of saltines and ginger ale. Ten weeks in, and the only glow I’ve got is from the sheen of sweat after chasing the dog around the coffee table. My stepson doesn’t quite get why I nap on the couch while he builds castles, but he kindly tucks a blanket over me every time. That’s love. There’s pressure to keep it together, but the truth is, I don’t. And that’s okay. Because the body...]]></description><link>https://www.thecalmmamalife.com/post/first-trimester-exhaustion-is-real</link><guid isPermaLink="false">691002cbcfbfd61d9a23efb9</guid><pubDate>Wed, 24 Sep 2025 06:00:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/6d781c_ee737839e98d44c580c53ea682a72c85~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Harper Lane</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Small Apartment, Big Life]]></title><description><![CDATA[Our apartment is 800 square feet. Five hundred of those square feet currently belong to our puppy’s chaos. Add in toys, my kiddo's books, and my husband’s shoes (WHY are they everywhere?) and it feels like we’re living in a very cluttered dollhouse. I used to think “making it” meant a bigger space, a bigger paycheck, a bigger everything. But lately, I’m realizing it’s more about finding peace where you are. Tiny kitchen? Perfect for forcing us to eat dinner together at the same table.

I packed the lunch, zipped the backpack, tied the shoes. My five-year-old stepson looked braver than I felt. He marched into the classroom while I stood outside pretending I had “dust” in my eyes. Step-momming is this strange mix of wanting to give them the world while wondering if you’re doing it right. Now throw in pregnancy hormones and a puppy that chews everything we own, and I was one melted Popsicle by 9 a.m. But here’s the...]]></description><link>https://www.thecalmmamalife.com/post/kindergarten-drop-off-tears-and-not-just-theirs</link><guid isPermaLink="false">690fff60b36e4578ddce3df8</guid><pubDate>Thu, 11 Sep 2025 01:41:56 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/6d781c_28280101332346f289b4f673aaf34369~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Harper Lane</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
