This maternity is SO near and dear to my heart, I am so excited to share it with you guys!!

Daniel, Mal, and I all grew up together in Long Beach: going to the same schools, running around the same beaches, acquainted by mutual friends. They became a serious power couple when we hit high school, and although a year younger than me, I always remembered hearing their names together. (Hey high school with a student body of +4k kids). I didn’t know much about them then. Fast forward to now, and I can vouch — Daniel + Mallory are worthy of every kind word mentioned alongside their names. When you are around them, they just shine with light and laughter, and their hearts are huge. I am honored to call them friends and I am OBSESSED with the forthcoming love + light they are going to extend along the path Jesus has in store for their new DeWolf family. I just know the impact is going to be beyond their wildest dreams.

Mal’s answer to “what’s your future family vision?”:

“Our vision consists of a unified family that seeks God, remains true to our values, and works hard no matter who is watching. We are excited to continue growing our family while sharing the love of God to our miracle baby.”

The biggest piece of advice from D + M?:

“The biggest lesson we've learned has been patience and the ability to slow down. Since our teenage years we have always been on the go and non stop hustling to advance in school and our careers. However, if you're always grinding, you don't allow yourself time to listen to your body and cherish the moments. Pregnancy is truly one of the most miraculous things a family can experience, but it can be over before you know it if you don't allow yourself time to slow down and breathe.”

Daniel + Mal, thanks for being the realest, baddest, Jesus-loving homies. You are going to be the BEST parents! Praying for a healthy beautiful boy or girl to be in your arms soon!!
