It was about midnight on October 3rd when it happened. At that point, I had been pregnant for 37 weeks and 4 days. That night, I had been talking with my hubby as it was his first day off work (THANK GOD). It was getting late but, of course, it's not easy to sleep when you're so far into a pregnancy either. Eventually, I felt the need to pee, so like any other person would do, I got out o[...]

Shout out to my hubby for getting detailed about his experience! 1. Preg[...]
I know I'm over half way through pregnancy, but I still can't believe I AM PREGNANT! It feels like just yesterday I was preparing for my wedding day! I've learned so much since then. It has been one of the best but hardest things I've endured so far from morning sickness to a couple scares. Let's get right into the good stuff!
