When you're expecting a baby, all the focus seems to be on the external trappings of pregnancy--baby showers, doctor appointments, setting up the nursery, learning about baby's development. But amid all that preparation, your own emotional and spiritual journey is also taking place. You're not just growing a baby; you're becoming a mother.

In Expecting Wonder, Brittany L. Bergman dives into this identity transformation with wit and grace, offering a heart-level guidebook for women in the season of pregnancy. Bergman shares stories of wrestling with fear, learning to trust God's goodness, and making space physically and emotionally for both her baby and her changing identity. By sharing her own honest journey of fear, change, and hope, Bergman offers the reader a picture of the miracle that God is working not just in the reader's body, but also in her soul.

Brittany L. Bergman is a writer who is passionate about telling stories and providing refreshment, connection, and encouragement to mothers who don't want to lose sight of their identity. Her essays about motherhood have appeared in Coffee + Crumbs, Motherly, The MOPS Blog, (in)courage, and Today Parents. She lives in the suburbs of Chicago with her husband, Dan, their two children, and their rescue dog.
