Montreal_Intercontinental_Hotel_7

I’ve had something brewing for a while now and I’m so excited to finally share it with you. I AM PREGNANT, and boy has it been a ride. My husband John and I are OVER THE MOON about our coming blessing. Already, through carrying this little one for 5 months, I’m starting to understand the love of a mother and I think sometimes how amazing in love I ALREADY am with this bump lol. I can’t even imagine the love my mother must have for me. Such a gift to now have that perspective.

I can talk forever about the journey, but I’m really excited to share my pregnancy symptoms from week to week. I’ve been reading a lot of these online to help me cope with the harder days and to compare my symptoms to other women at similar stages, so I hope this helps someone. OR if not pregnant, please do keep read for general curiosity.
