Do you know what you're doing, having a baby?

Really. Do you? Because I didn't.

I had no idea that my life would be so irrevocably different. Despite the outpourings of advice (wanted and otherwise), I found myself lost. Constantly surrounded, yet completely alone. I didn't know what I didn't know, until I knew it. I didn't know what to expect - and learned that there should be no expectation.

The journey into motherhood is life-changing, in every regard. For me, it was (and continues to be) the most simultaneously underwhelming and overwhelming thing that I have ever experienced. It is raw. It is challenging. It is tumultuous. It is beautiful.

What started as cathartic journaling for me has turned into a love letter, to you.

I see you. I get it. Take me on your journey with you, and remember that you're never alone. Remember that you are enough.

Industry Reviews

"(Un)expecting is full of the same grace that my dear friend Kylee embodies each and every day. Little by little, Kylee guides us through the unexpected journey of expecting, uncovering intimate truths that allow us to feel and more importantly be human every step of the way. As someone who wants to love and serve my wife (Annika) well, I strongly urge all expecting dads to pick this up and read it, too. I know I will when we are expecting again!"

-Jake Bajema, Young Life Area Director (Kentwood, MI)

"Real. Raw. Courageous. All of these are words I would use to describe this powerful coming-into-motherhood story. Knowing that every birth story is unique, this relatable memoir dives into unexpected events that may take place during the pregnancy, at the birth, through postpartum, and everything in between. This well written story is a must-read for those becoming or newly entering into the maternity role."

- Sydney Zwiep, BSN, RN (Maternal & Neonatal Nurse)
