I've been absent from social media lately while taking time to treasure my own pregnancy. As I near the end of these nine months I have truly come to appreciate the knowledge that I have gained as a doula.
I am blessed to be welcoming our little boy into this world in just over two weeks and cannot believe how fast time has gone.
For those of you who picture every pregnancy as a beautiful journey, it truly is, even when there's bumps along the way. Personally, I have been managing gestational diabetes since 9-weeks, I've had low blood pressure since 6-months which causes severe lethargy and weakness every time it hits. I've had heartburn, hip pain, back pain, intense mood swings, anxiety, brain fog, and so many other symptoms. But at the end of saying all of that, I wouldn't trade any of this for what I'm about to hold in my arms.
Birth, life, it is amazing. The fact that a s***m and an egg can come together to create a precious little human couldn't be anything aside from a miracle. ❤️
