... Read moreHearing that a close friend is pregnant, especially when it’s a surprise, is truly a special moment that stays with you forever. From my own experience, the news of unexpected pregnancies can be overwhelming but immensely joyful. When my best friend told me she was pregnant, it took me back to the delicate phase of being 8 weeks postpartum, a time filled with mixed emotions and new challenges. Yet, learning about her journey made me appreciate the unique beauty of each pregnancy and the bonds it creates. A surprise pregnancy often means sudden changes, both emotional and practical, but it also opens doors to newfound happiness and deeper connections with loved ones. Sharing this kind of news often involves heartfelt conversations, planning for the future, and cherishing every milestone together, such as meeting the new baby, like the moment described when going to meet Sofia. If you’re someone experiencing a surprise pregnancy or supporting a friend going through it, remember that it’s completely normal to feel a whirlwind of emotions. Embrace the surprise with hope and excitement, and lean on your community for support. Every pregnancy story is unique, and the joy of sharing it brings people closer, creating lasting memories and a strong support network for the journey ahead.

Struggles with Prayer and Overthinking.
I have a tendency to overthink things. I could simply say “Hi” instead of “Hello” and think about it for a week. I fail to be present because my mind is in the past. I also have a tendency to overthink my prayers. That they aren’t good enough. That God won’t hear me. I think about praying in fron
