Pregnancy Symptoms: Going into pregnancy I had the Elizabeth Banks in What to Expect When You're Expecting (ah-maz-ing movie if you haven't seen it) outlook.  I wanted the glow, & while I understood some parts would be harder than others I had no idea just how difficult this would be.  From the sciatic nerve pain to acid reflex to acne to cramps to spider veins (helloo compression socks) this has been the biggest emotional & physical roller coaster I have ever been on.  While baby is beautiful & welcoming him into our lives is the most wonderful thing in the world, I am straight up miserable with preggie symptoms.  That felt so wonderful to type, I can't even explain.  I've been leaving details like this out of the blog thinking it must just be me because most of what I find or read online paints this this beautiful picture of pregnancy which I straight up don't fit into.  But that changes now, no more sugar coating & today starts a new chapter on the blog.

Looking forward to: All of the baby things we have lined up over the next couple weeks!  CPR class, hospital tour & figuring out a few nursery ideas.
