On New Beginnings
Ask a mom-to-be what she’s doing the day after her due date, and you might get a wry smile. She doesn’t know. Baby’s birth date remains a mystery until the last minute, and she might not know if she’s having a girl or a boy.
On the eve of the Jewish New Year, it’s a good reminder that none of us knows what the future holds. While waiting for baby is an incredible and unrivaled time of anticipation, the dawn of any new year—whether the school year, Rosh Hashanah, or a milestone birthday—is filled with much mystery and wonder. New hopes and dreams abound, as much as little worries might try to sneak in.
When the stories of our future selves haven’t yet been written, all good things seem possible. Everything is within our grasp. As parents-to-be, when we hear our babies take their first breath, and their long-awaited cry pierces the air, we all cry out for the joy of new beginnings, both for our children and for ourselves as new parents.
Whether you’re waiting for a baby or another type of new beginning, we wish you a sweet and healthy new year. And if you are awaiting a newborn, or watching your little one grow up, come join us at the Y Beginnings Parenting Center.
