A little more about my pregnancy ❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We found out on my birthday, Nov 16th. Best birthday gift EVER! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ With the timeline and my Papa passing away on 11/2, I can’t help but think he had a little something to do with it. I told him I was trying for another on when we visited him in hospice. ❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m 13 weeks, so a little over 3 months, as of today. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We don’t know the gender yet but we will be throwing a gender reveal party at the end of next month to find out! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This pregnancy is much different than the last. I started feeling the baby move very early on. I’ve also been sick almost every day of the first trimester. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ll be keeping everyone updated regularly just like last time! Thanks for the love & support! #13weekspregnant #momhairdontcare

Daily walks with my son are like therapy and hones

Daily walks with my son are like therapy and honestly, I haven’t walked with him in months. I stopped making it a priority for no good reason other than purely being lazy and sometimes, selfish. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It wasn’t until a neighbor asked where we’d been that I realized I’d put our walks on the back burner. Now, we’re going on 3 consecutive days of walking and I think both of our moods have improved. No music, no audiobooks, just us. Talking, laughing, and bonding. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is what being a mommy is all about. I’ll always cherish our simple moments and I think he will, too. 💖
