How is it almost time? 🥹

Somehow this pregnancy has flown by right before my eyes. It has been the most beautiful experience, and has also been trying and tiring.

First trimester nausea? Homegirl didn’t come to play. Second trimester? Beautiful - chefs kiss. Third trimester? Currently feeling like a beached whale and just so ready to meet our baby boy 🩵

Here’s to soon meeting our first baby, with the name we decided on in our love letters to each other at age 16, and the biggest blessing from God!

(p.s.) I will take any and all birthing experiences and advice! Ya girl is not quite freaking out, but also not not terrified 😂

4/6 Edited to

... Read morePregnancy is truly a rollercoaster of emotions and physical changes, especially as you move closer to your due date. Having been through this experience myself, I understand how the early weeks can feel like an uphill battle with constant nausea and fatigue. Many expectant mothers find the first trimester to be the toughest, as your body adjusts to a new life growing inside. By the second trimester, it often feels like a breath of fresh air—the surge of energy and diminishing discomforts can make this phase the most enjoyable. It’s a great time to prepare both mentally and physically for the months to come. However, the third trimester brings its own set of challenges: feeling large, tired, and sometimes overwhelmed but also filled with excitement and anticipation. Counting down the days until May 15th, it’s incredible how fast the time flies. Having a name chosen long ago can deepen the emotional connection to your baby, making the wait even more meaningful. When it comes to labor and delivery, every birth story is unique. Talking to other moms and gathering advice can help reduce fear and prepare you for what to expect. Remember to trust your body, communicate openly with your healthcare providers, and lean on your support system. Lastly, keeping a positive mindset and celebrating every small victory during this journey is vital. Whether it’s overcoming morning sickness or simply feeling your baby’s first kick, these moments are precious. Embrace the entire process with gratitude and don’t hesitate to reach out to others for support and guidance as you approach the big day.
