To think this was all 3 years ago

Pregnancy was an experience I’m so grateful to have gone through. On the heels of my daughter’s 3rd birthday I can look back and say I did that! The human body is a wonderful thing.

My baby shower was at nine months and babygirl showed up a week later.

She was right on time :)#momsoflemon8

Baby shower outfit was a dream too! Tears of joy all around.

Of course the chef had to have a bomb desert table. Big ups to Contis bakery up in The Bronx.

Dress : jacquemus

Shoes : Amina Muaddi

... Read morePregnancy is often described as a transformative experience, and for many mothers, it is a journey filled with anticipation, joy, and a myriad of emotions. As you're celebrating milestones like your child's birthday, it's essential to reflect on those early days, including the excitement of baby showers and preparations for welcoming a new life. Choosing the right outfit for such a memorable occasion can be just as thrilling as picking a name for your little one. From elegant dresses to comfortable shoes, every detail matters in making these moments unforgettable. The importance of community during pregnancy cannot be overstated. Support from family and friends enhances the experience, and events like baby showers foster connection and celebration. Having a chef create a delightful dessert table adds a special touch that culminates in a fun and festive atmosphere. Places like Contis bakery, known for their unique pastries, have become favorites for many, influencing how we celebrate our special events. As a new mother, documenting these precious experiences allows you to cherish them for years to come, while sharing these stories with others can inspire and connect you with fellow parents. Whether you're reminiscing about your journey or seeking advice, each step in this adventure contributes to the beauty of motherhood.

getting older is weird because when you go through your camera roll you’re instantly reminded of what you were doing 4-5 years ago on this day… is time moving too fast or are we sacrificing too much of it doing the things we think we’re supposed to be doing? 💭
