2016 I was Pregnant With Zao🫶

#2016throwback #lemon8challenge #lemon8contest in 2016, this time a year, I was about to give birth to my first child! I knew he was going to be the best thing to ever happen to me, and here we are about to celebrate his 9th birthday! That year was beautiful for me, as it's the only time I've ever been pregnant and my pregnancy with Zao was mostly smooth sailing minus nausea. Only actually got sick one time the entire pregnancy and it was the morning after camping on a hot night. We surely will never forget that night. I was sporting some cute bangs, and my fav sports bra to ensure my belly had nothing pressed right against it. I loved this year in my life. I've ALWAYS wanted to be a mom and a wifey and I'm bothšŸ’– Hubby and I just celebrated 9 years of marriage and this April we celebrate 10 years together 🫶 Stay focused on what you love and why you love it/them! 🩷

... Read moreLooking back at my pregnancy in 2016, I realize how precious and unique that time was for me. It was the only time I was pregnant, and aside from a brief bout of nausea after camping on a hot night, I felt mostly healthy and strong throughout the months. I remember how important it was to me to keep comfortable, especially wearing a favorite sports bra that didn't put pressure on my growing belly. That little detail helped me feel more at ease, which I recommend for anyone expecting. Finding your own comfort methods can make a big difference during pregnancy. Celebrating my son’s milestones has added so much meaning to my journey. As we approach his 9th birthday, I am reminded of how much motherhood has fulfilled a lifelong dream. The anticipation of becoming a mom and a wife was something I cherished deeply, and every year since has reinforced that love and dedication. Marriage and parenting often go hand in hand, and my husband and I have grown stronger together over the past decade. This April, we celebrate 10 years together, which reminds me that nurturing relationships is just as crucial as caring for a child. For those on their own pregnancy journeys or looking forward to starting a family, my advice is to stay focused on what you cherish most. Embrace every moment, including the challenges, and remember that every small experience contributes to a beautiful story worth sharing.
