This is the time we need our rest! I find myself wide awake between the dreaded hours of 2am-4am…lucky me!  I either need to pee, I’m sweating, the baby is having a dance party in my belly, I’m having bad heartburn, myRead More →

Congratulations and welcome to the world of pregnancy!  Everyone experiences pregnancy differently and everyone’s journey to get there is different. Therefore, I will start off by saying, be nice and be respectful.  Yes, there are so many people out there – family, friends, strangers – who love to offer unsolicited advice. Don’t ever forget to just be true to yourself, do your best, and do not allow others to persuade you on how you should look this far along, what you should and shouldn’t be doing, and how to raise your child.  There are so many changes that happen to your body from the veryRead More →
