I made a comment today that pregnancy has made me feel like a completely different person–one I’ve never met before, and one I’m definitely not used to. If you had asked me before to describe myself in 3 words, one word that I would ALWAYS include on the list would be “motivated.” Pregnancy has changed …
Thoughts on Pregnancy {Part One}
(pics taken on the day we found out we were expecting) First of all, THANK YOU for your warm wishes and congratulations on yesterday’s post. I have felt overwhelmed with love the past 24 hours, and I appreciate all your kind comments! When I first found out I was pregnant, I was dying to …
