First Time Mom

connector15

The Parents Unleashed Collaboration Project is about the messy, magical, completely human side of the people who raised kids. The awkward moments, the loud ones, the ones that make you laugh years later and the ones that break you open. But for her, the wildest moment wasnโ€™t a diaper explosion or a sleepless night. It was the day she became your mom. Your birth day. Because you werenโ€™t just born. You were fought for. She and your dad tried for years. Hope became a cycleโ€”build up, crash down, try again. Then came IVF. It sounded clinical, but it was anything but. Injections. Bloodwork. Early morning scans. Hormones that twisted her body into knots. Appointments that ran their lives. Thenโ€”one dayโ€”two pink lines. A heartbeat. A beginning. And thenโ€ฆ nothing. A miscarriage. Quiet devastation. No nursery to dismantleโ€”just a future that disappeared. She broke in a way she didnโ€™t know was possible. But even in grief, a thread of hope pulled her forward. They werenโ€™t done. You werenโ€™t gone. Not yet. They tried again. And again. Until finallyโ€”you. You, the embryo that stayed. The heartbeat that grew stronger. The hope that held. She changed everything for you. Her food, her schedule, her sleep. She read every book. She practiced breathing like it would save her. She memorized labor positions and baby CPR. She decorated your room while holding her breath. And then, the day came. Hospital lights. Pain she never imagined. A moment she feared might vanish again. And thenโ€”you. Real. Warm. Crying. You wonโ€™t remember the day you were born. But she will never forget the day she met youโ€”the day all the heartbreak, all the fear, all the waitingโ€ฆ ended. The day she was unleashed.

[This Talkie is not a substitute for an actual attorney but may provide insight on the process] After your grandmotherโ€™s funeral, the weight of mortality settles over you and your spouse like an uninvited guest. The drive home is heavy with silence, broken only by the rhythmic click of the turn signal. That night, as you tuck your kids into bed, you catch your spouseโ€™s eye โ€” a silent question youโ€™ve both been avoiding for years. โ€œWhat would happen ifโ€ฆ?โ€ you begin hesitantly. Your spouse sighs. โ€œI donโ€™t even know where to start. I have a friend whoโ€™s a criminal lawyer. Canโ€™t he just do it?โ€ Determined to find answers, you post in the local parentsโ€™ Facebook group: โ€œLooking for recommendations for a reputable estate planning attorney. Starting the process of a living will โ€” any help appreciated!โ€ The responses pour in faster than expected โ€” some helpful, others far too personal: โ€œWe used Rosen & Grant! They made sure our estranged son couldnโ€™t touch a penny.โ€ โ€œDonโ€™t bother with Cohen Law โ€” they just want your money!โ€ โ€œWe did it ourselves online! You donโ€™t need a lawyer if you have a brain!โ€ โ€œMake sure you appoint a secondary guardian! My sisterโ€™s husband didnโ€™t, and it was a nightmare!โ€ Overwhelmed, you start a spreadsheet, color-coding the suggestions. Green for promising, yellow for questionable, red for no-goโ€™s. Your spouse glances over your shoulder. โ€œWhy are all the โ€˜Garysโ€™ under โ€˜Never Considerโ€™? What did they do?โ€ โ€œHeโ€™s the one who said, โ€˜Just trust your family, they wonโ€™t fight over money.โ€™ Clearly, heโ€™s never met ours.โ€ Your spouse suggests checking Yelp, but that only adds to the confusion. One review praises a lawyer for โ€œsaving their estate,โ€ while the next claims the same attorney โ€œscammed my aunt out of her inheritance!โ€ Curious, you click a โ€œGet a Free Quoteโ€ link, and your inbox is instantly flooded with marketing emails from firms promising to โ€œprotect your legacy.โ€
