My Newest Blessing

2020 wasn’t so bad after all yall….I’m pregnant! Exactly 10 weeks today. My boyfriend and I have been wanting to grow our family for a while and now it’s happening! My daughter will finally have a sibling, though the age gap will be quite substantial…9 years by the time the baby gets here…but I have no doubt that they will be SUPER close. She’s been asking for a sibling for years!

When I was pregnant with my daughter, I had zero morning sickness, the nausea was at a minimum, I had energy, I didn’t even get big until my last couple of months! This child here?! Completely different story.

I’m sick literally all day, sleepy all day, everything stinks and makes me gag, and I have zero energy. I have always heard that every pregnancy is different but whew child I’m miserable!

Now I know I asked for this, and I know some women would kill to feel what I’m feeling now, and believe me I am so grateful!! I just can’t wait for this particular part of pregnancy to be over.

I prayed for this baby. I prayed over this baby. I love this baby with everything I have. On the days where I’m laying over the toilet dry heaving, I try my best to remember that 😆. Being a woman is hard. I salute every woman who did this multiple (over 2) times. Couldn’t be me though!

I cannot wait to meet the tiny person growing inside of me. The first time around with my daughter, I went through this alone. Now I have my guy with me, helping me and supporting me…and I’m so full of love.

This baby will be so incredibly loved. He or she already is.

I can’t wait to share more about the process, maybe do some maternity hauls or baby hauls…once I have the energy of course. It is 5:42 a.m. as I am writing this. I’m sure I’ll be exhausted during work but what’s new lol.

Thank you God for my baby. Thank you God for my family. Please continue to watch over us and get this baby here in September with no complications. Amen.
