Call it hormones, call it the final stretch, but Alex Drummond is feeling a little extra sentimental lately!
With baby boy's September arrival getting closer, Alex has had plenty on her mind. She's been working through her long before-baby to-do list, running low on energy, and trying to stay as cool as humanly possible during an eight-months-pregnant summer in Dallas. She recently joked about essentially hibernating until delivery, which...can you blame her?
But somewhere between the nursery prep and chasing Sofia around, Alex has also been thinking about this very specific little chapter they're in right now. “These final weeks of pregnancy can feel grueling especially with a toddler, but I’ve been trying to live in a mindset of gratitude,” Alex wrote on Instagram.
Then came the hormones. Maybe!
“Maybe it’s the hormones haha but it’s really been hitting me lately that I am quite literally living in the midst of everything I’ve ever hoped and prayed for,” she continued. “Growing up I always DREAMED of having my own family—a husband that is kind and loving and makes me laugh, precious babies of our own! I’m living in that right now, how surreal is that!!!”
It's a particularly sweet realization as Alex and Mauricio get ready to become a family of four. Sofia will soon be promoted to big sister and Alex has previously admitted that she's both excited and “a little nervous” about what it will feel like to divide her attention between two little ones. Both feelings can live in the same house! Especially a house that's about to have two kids under 2.
“These are the DAYS and I want to be so present and treasure these memories before we are about to welcome our second baby and first son. 💙,” Alex wrote. “And I know it’s only going to get sweeter (and more chaotic 🤪) from here!”
Then, because a sentimental moment can only go on so long before you have to laugh at yourself, she signed off: “Okay that’s the end of my senti rant carry on!”
Senti rant approved!
