What They Don't Tell You About Pregnancy
"A baby fills a special place in your heart that you never knew was empty." —Unknown Water Break I'm sure almost everyone out there has seen a labor scene in some sort of movie sometime in their lives. In the movies, it's always way exaggerated when the woman suddenly shoots water out of her lady bits and immediately goes into contractions. As a kid/teenager this always terrified me, maybe that's what the media wants to portray pregnancies to prevent so many teens from having kids. Whatever the case maybe, this is most defiantly not realistic what so ever. When your water breaks, you could either have a drizzle of water come out or more like the feeling of peeing yourself. It all depends on the person and how their bodies respond. For me, it felt like I had peed myself, stopped for a couple seconds and then start again and this time it didn't stop. Following my water breaking, I didn't get the shooting pain of contractions like in the movies.

Two weeks ago, I gave birth to my first son Roman. He arrived at 6AM on January 8, four days early, on the date I wanted. I asked my belly and he listened. He shares his birthday with Bowie, Elvis, and Stephen Hawking, and I have never been so overwhelmed with love and emotion in my life. Everyone tells you, "You don’t know love till you have kids."

Anyone can tell you what love feels like but when you become parent and lay eyes on your newborn baby,you feel overwhelmed with true love, you entire soul is filled with what love truly is. You think that the love for you child is at a max but everything they do for the first time, their first crawling,their first step, their first word fills you with more love that you thought couldn’t fill you with but it’s can. Becoming a parent is an amazing thing and makes you realize what love really is

Life After Maternity Leave: Work Edition
I never knew I could fall in love instantly until the day my son was born. Early May, a day before my own mom's birthday, I gave birth to my son. From getting induced, to finally receiving an epidural, to his long-awaited arrival, everything honestly felt like it went by quickly. Now he's eight months, nearing nine.

Rainbow Baby
Let's start this post off from the beginning of my journey into motherhood. December 1, 2017, my cycle had been five days late, I took a test before going to work and got those two beautiful pink lines. It had been eight months of my fiancee and I not preventing pregnancy. We were both so excited and scared! I made an appointment to see my doctor that following Monday. Sure enough, doctors confirmed what we already knew... we were going to have out first baby!
