I always knew I wanted to have a family, but I was never one of those girls that dreamt about having this big wedding or being a mom. I was definitely excited for it, but I never had a Pinterest board or names picked out. What I did know is that I wanted to be with someone I loved with all my heart and that loves me the same way back. And when it came to having kids, I knew that I wanted to be the best mom I can be, which meant that I didn’t live my 20’s waiting for that moment. I lived my 20’s working on myself & living my life so that I can be that partner and that mom.
August 31st is when I found out I was pregnant. I was over the moon!!!! If you’re wondering what that doll is in the picture, it’s a fertility doll that my friend’s aunt got in Africa many many years ago and she gifted it to me so that I could have could luck🥰 Which I did!!! (I later lent it to a friend and she was able to get pregnant too!! It’s a magic doll I swear).
Pregnancy wasn’t hard at first and then it got really painful. I always say that my recovery postpartum is a walk in the park compared to the pain I endured during pregnancy. Ladies, take your colace & drink your prune juice.
My due date was May 7th, but this little guy decided to make his appearance on April 26th with a splash💦 to remember 😂😂 sometimes your water actually DOES break like the movies LOL.
I love looking at him. Putting my cheek on him, doing skin to skin, singing to him, having dance parties & watching him grow every day. What a beautiful next phase in my life✨
I know people love knowing this information and I don’t mind sharing:
He was born at 7lbs 2oz at 38 weeks and 3 days (so just imagine how much more he could’ve grown🫣) & 21 inches long. He has huge feet and we know he’s going to be a very tall fella like his dad🤭
