Plus One

Hi. It’s been a very long time since we spoke. I know, same story as always. You along with myself and millions of people may be hanging out at home during this quarantine trying to stay as safe as possible. The last few months have been a whirlwind. I left my job, I was taking a legal course and then the idea of all this change was making me nauseated, fatigued, and almost emotional. But lo and behold, it wasn’t that I wasn’t sleeping enough, it wasn’t the change of my job, and it wasn't that I was all of a sudden disliking everything. It was a tiny little human creating the fuss.

It’s been so scary. More so, it’s my fear from our first pregnancy that ended with a miscarriage last year. It’s incredibly hard to shake off, every discomfort, every pain, or even the lack of, sends my brain into a frenzy thinking something is wrong. I can’t help it. Thankfully, we’ve had a few ultrasounds with a rapid little heartbeat at the end of it confirming that at least something is living in me. I know I’m not the only one that’s felt this before so I’m right there with you sis. But at some point, we have to trust in God and trust that he will see us through it, regardless of the end. Because quite frankly, it’s exhausting to hold your breath from one doctor’s appointment to the next. I don’t want to hold my breath anymore, I want to celebrate and enjoy this babe.

So anyway, that’s my long way of saying, we are so happy to share we are adding a plus one to our tiny family. We’ve got a long way to go still but we figured it’s time to share and let the grandparents enjoy out loud. Happy Easter!

Talk soon, B.
