I can not believe I am typing this right now – WE ARE HAVING A BABY!
Like… what!? After 2.5 years of marriage and 7.5 years of being in love, Derek and I learned we were becoming parents. Our little love is on the way and will be here in May 2023.
While we are ecstatic about Baby H, I have been ridden with anxiety for the last few months. Am I drinking enough water? I have had a cough. Is the baby okay? What if we lose the pregnancy? Will I be a good mom? I think my blood pressure is high. Can I sleep on my stomach? And the list goes on and on and on.
Derek and close friends have had to reassure me a few times (okay, maybe a lot) that these feelings are completely normal but that everything will be okay and the baby will be loved regardless of what happens–which is SO true! I think it is just being a first-time mom and understanding the struggles that some women face and the risks that come with pregnancy my anxiety has skyrocketed. Now that we have made it out of the first trimester and learned that the baby is completely healthy, we are SO excited to share this news with you! We are ecstatic to go on this next journey together and we can not wait to bring you along for the ride.
