Pregnancy is a blessing, but just like with all things in life, it can come with some surprises along the way. I discuss my own experiences in the post, and other unexpected parts of pregnancy.
Learning to Become a Parent
Happy Wednesday, Everyone! I hope this week finds you well. It has been a busy few weeks for us in my house, due to Theresa’s surgery, Mother’s Day, and Anniversary celebrations, and is only going to keep getting busier with more doctor appointments and getting back into a regular routine now that places …
6 Months
The day has come! My baby Theresa is 6 months old. I can’t believe that it has been 6 months since she was born! I also can’t believe that in about year we’ll have another 6 month old. There are so many changes happening in our household that are both exciting and scary. …
