Is Hilaria Hinting That This Will Be Her Final Pregnancy?
In a recent Instagram post shared earlier this month, Hilaria seemed to admit that she might be ready to stop having children. She shared three gorgeous photos of her in a flowing maternity gown along with a simple mirror selfie of her standing next to her eldest daughter in the post, tagging @roushoots for the stunning photos.
“Doing this 1 more time, 10ish years from when I began with Carmen…how age, experience, the beauty and joys of life and kind people, the beatings and cruelty, the rights, the wrongs…how the sum of these years and experiences has aged and crafted me,” she wrote.
“To be a woman….persistent, hopeful, stubborn, determined, desire and faith that I will make life work out to be beautiful…naive?” she asked. “Sometimes…but I wouldn’t trade it for jaded. I fall and get up, cry then dry my tears and find smiles again. I will take all my lessons and document them to try to share with others. To ease pain…that is my calling.”
She then addressed her daughters directly, writing, “There is so much amazing power in being a woman…and there are aspects where we must fight for our humanity. Never forget or doubt that there is a community of love and support and kindness. You have a strong sisterhood to walk this life with.”
She asked them to “Remember: I am real. I am kind. I am savvy. I am fierce. I am worthy. I am strong. I am me in all of my uniqueness. I belong. And I’m not alone.” She ended the message to her daughters, writing, “Mami loves you.”
Many fans wish her and her husband Alec Baldwin nothing but the best for their growing family.
