From the day you find out you are pregnant, your world changes. From that moment on, it’s not just you, or the two of you; you’re bringing a whole new life into the world. There is nothing like a baby on the way to make us reexamine, well, everything in our lives!
The months and weeks before baby arrives mark the end of your time as “just the two of you” for quite some time. Planning a Babymoon is a great way to make sure you take a break from the preparations and enjoy each other before everything changes!

My husband and I were excited to start our family shortly after getting married in October 2019. We love to travel so we had two dream vacations planned (our honeymoon Safari and a trip to Japan) and would start trying to get pregnant after those trips in early 2020, but COVID had other plans...

If you’ve never journaled before, you might be surprised to hear that it can be very therapeutic and healing for many people. Journaling in pregnancy can help you process all those “big feelings,” fears, and elation that happens. It’s also a great time to record those crazy pregnancy dreams you have and make notes of any changes you feel in your body.
During prenatal check-ups, you’ll quickly become accustomed to having your blood pressure checked and in certain offices, a urine sample. While these activities seem routine, they are critical to your health and the health of your baby.
We recently touched on how mom guilt helps with perspective on parenting as well as ways to embrace it and work through it by finding community. BUT what about this year? 2020.
The changes to your body during pregnancy are many, but the emotional changes are often the ones that women find they have the most challenging time dealing with. We all expect our bellies to grow, to be a little clumsy and tired, but the surging hormones can affect everyone differently.
