What a week!!! There was peak pregnancy productivity and it was lovely!!! The primary hyper-focus I started the week with a sudden urge to revamp the front of my house.

I wake up with decent energy and hopeful expectation,…Continue Reading “Pregnancy Update // 17 Weeks”
I already feel like time is speeding along! I was and am very grateful for the “good days” I had last week. Unfortunately this week has been a bit harder for me.
