“I can’t do it anymore!!! It hurts… It hurts a lot!!!” were the words that I said as I was pushing while wearing a mask on July 9th a few minutes before 4:29 PM. Yes, you read that right. I was wearing a mask while I was in labor and as I was pushing. That’s what it was like to give birth during a pandemic.
I know it sounds like a cliche, but believe me when I say that it truly feels like yesterday when we found out we are expecting our third baby. But now, here we are towards the end of my pregnancy. Realizing that I will be giving birth soon has been bittersweet. It has forced me to spend more time with the kids because I know my focus on them will be shifted once the baby is born.
Last December, we announced that we are expecting our third baby! Although we were ecstatic to find out that we’ll have a new addition to our family soon, the first trimester wasn’t that easy. It was filled with a lot of ups & downs. Today, I’m sharing all about my DIY maternity session & my second trimester highlights!
