I went on the roller coaster ride of being pregnant for the first time which was a lot of 'is this normal?' and increasing my consumption of McDonald's cheeseburgers and ice cream. I also learned that baby showers are way more fun than wedding showers. Everyone is beyond generous when a new baby is on the way, we received love, support and gifts from people we had not seen in ages! It's a very exciting time for everyone.
We welcomed our beautiful little girl into the world at the end of August 2016 and instantly our lives became brighter. I am so fortunate that I was able to spend a full year off work with her. I soaked up every minute of it! There was lots of laughter, adventures, shopping, playdates with our friends who were also off, etc. There was also lots of tears and meltdowns - from both baby and me - and lots of messes to clean up. But this little human is a magical creature who erases all the tougher times instantly with a giggle, smile or mama.
What else is new... I still eat lots of ice cream - it's delicious, who wouldn't?! I've been back to work at my full-time job since last August and our daughter is thriving at her daycare centre. We are so blessed with a good sleeper, good eater, (has become recently) very social and a great helper. I am so grateful for this opportunity to witness all of her milestones and growing up from the front row. She's a wonder!
