We're Expecting! — Letty B.

This isn’t exactly how I imagined my first pregnancy would go. Soon after finding out I was going to be a mommy, we had to go in to quarantine because of the pandemic. As you can imagine, finding out you’re pregnant is overwhelming as it is, add on top of that the confusion of what is going on in the world, made it all the more nerve-racking. I’d always imagine finding out would be a moment of pure joy and it was joyful, but it also came with so many fears of the unknown.

I have found peace in knowing the Universe wouldn’t give us anything we couldn’t handle. I find peace in seeing other expecting mommas going through the same thing and knowing that in the end, it/we will all be ok.

As I type this, I’m nearing the end of my first trimester. We haven’t made an announcement yet and only our close friends and family know. We will be getting all of the important test results back in a couple of weeks and if. all goes well, we will be able to breathe a sigh of relief. All. we want and hope for is a healthy baby. I’m excited to share our excitement with the world and to know our baby is growing healthy. We also get to find out the sex of the baby in a couple of weeks!

I can’t wait to share this experience with you and hear from other mommas and get all the baby and parenting tips. I’m nervous, excited, anxious and happy. Can’t wait to meet our baby and and grow our little family.
