I have a really exciting announcement to make...

📣 I’m pregnant!

These past few months have been a blur of excitement, anxiety, joy, and…

Hormones!

And along the way, one of the biggest lessons I’ve had to learn is that…

Life happen in its own time

Just because I wanted to start a family now, it didn’t mean that it would happen right now.

And the fact that things didn’t unfold exactly when I wanted it to

Well, it didn’t sit well with me.

I’m a Type A, after all.

Things must surely happen on my own timeline!

But life is funny because just when I decided to let go of any expectations…

I fell pregnant! 😱

It has been the most wonderful, and bizarre of experiences.

I’m learning to navigate this new body, to remember that steps are dangerous places to be (I recently sprained my ankle! 🙈)

And that I need to give myself more grace.

We have no idea what the future holds.

We’re sure nothing will prepare us for becoming parents other than actually becoming one ourselves!

But it’s exciting.

Though terrifying.

I’ll share about those insecurities in a future post because for now, I’d just like to share my joy!

Do you have any tips on how you’ve balanced parenthood with your work?

All advice is welcomed!
