"Having vivid daydreams..": Hailee Steinfeld opens up on "profound" journey to motherhood

Actor Hailee Steinfeld shares heartfelt insights on the emotional and introspective journey of expecting her first child with husband Josh Allen.

"the most profound and grounding part... has been the introspective side of it - Hailee Steinfeld"

Washington DC, February 23

Actor-singer Hailee Steinfeld has shared heartfelt insights into how she is preparing to welcome her first child with husband Josh Allen, calling the experience both "profound" and deeply introspective, according to E! News.

Steinfeld reflected on the emotional and practical preparations ahead of the baby's arrival. The couple, both 29, announced in December that they are expecting their first child together.

"This week, I was sitting on the couch in my family room, and the reality that our little family is about to grow really started to settle in," Steinfeld wrote. "Of course, I have all the to-do lists (which you know I love), and I've been busy with research and the general life reorganization that happens when you're about to have a baby," as per the outlet.

Beyond the checklists and nursery planning, the actor said the most meaningful part of the journey has been the "introspective side" of preparing for motherhood.

"But the most profound and grounding part of getting ready for this baby has been the introspective side of it: the quiet conversations I'm having with myself almost every day," she shared. "Sometimes I find myself asking big, lofty questions (what am I going to be like as a mom?) or having vivid daydreams of what our life is about to look like when the three of us are cuddled up in the nursery together," according to E! News.

Steinfeld added that she feels a "surreal, full-body awareness" about how their world is about to expand. "We're getting ready to meet someone we already love so much," she wrote, expressing gratitude as she embraces the changes ahead.

The couple first revealed the pregnancy in a December 12 social media post. Since then, Steinfeld said she has fully embraced the "nesting phase," finding joy in designing the nursery, even as she admitted to getting emotional over small details like choosing a rocking chair, according to E! News.

She also credited her close circle, including her mother, who recently hosted a baby shower at their home, for helping her feel supported and prepared for the next chapter.

It's nice to see a celebrity talk about the emotional preparation and not just the glamorous baby shower or nursery. The "quiet conversations with yourself" part really hits home. My wife went through the same phase.

While I'm happy for her, I do wish articles like this also highlighted the support systems many expecting parents *don't* have. Not everyone has a mother to host a shower or the means for a perfect nursery. The experience she describes is quite privileged.

Getting emotional over choosing a rocking chair! That's so relatable. The nesting phase is real. My Indian mom and aunties had so many opinions on the "correct" things to buy, but in the end, it's those personal, quiet moments of anticipation that matter most.

"Meeting someone we already love so much" – what a perfect way to put it. As a new father, this article brought back all those feelings. All the best to them. The journey is about to get even more amazing.

It's refreshing to see a young celebrity embracing motherhood with such thoughtfulness. In our culture, there's often so much external noise and advice from relatives, but her focus on internal preparation is something we can all learn from. Blessings to the mom-to-be! 🙏
