My first month with Azan

My first month with Azan

I’m a mom. Let that little tidbit sink in a bit. Yep. A month ago today, I birthed a tiny human being in the early lights of dawn and since than, my life has never been the same. A short month ago, I was preparing to bring life into this world , not really realizing how this choice I had made a year ago, would leave me so incredibly altered. Baby Azan, born 6.6 lb with a full head of shiny black hair and the most beautiful set of eyes I have ever seen was put into my lap at…

Preggo Diaries: My Baby’s Gender Reveal

Today I want to go back to 22 weeks pregnant. When I first got knocked up, I had no doubt that I wanted to know the gender of my baby.  I HATE surprises to the very core of my being.

Preggo Diaries: We hit 37 Weeks! 

Preggo Diaries: We hit 37 Weeks! 

    It’s been a long 37 weeks but we’ve hit it! Woot! I honestly didn’t think we would get here. I had a pretty crazy pregnancy.     In the first trimester I was really ill all the time, couldn’t keep food down, couldn’t keep hydrated, had to get a home care nurse to come and administer IV hydration to me so that I could continue a healthy pregnancy.     The second trimester seemed to start off well and I was able to enjoy the perks of being preggo, but let me tell you, that didn’t last too…
