As I walked into the doctor’s office for my first “official” OB appointment, I had to pinch myself a few times to make sure this was really happening. It still feels a bit surreal to say out loud that I am pregnant - but nonetheless, here we “grow”…

My journey towards “motherhood” isn’t so straightforward. There were times where I was 100% determined to have a huge family, then I was 100% determined to never have kids, but most of the time, I was somewhere in between. Most of my questions included: “Can I safely bring a baby into this life?”, “Can I even get pregnant?”, “Will I make an OK mom?”, “Will a child affect my work life? Social life? Life in general?”, "How will my body be affected?”… and many many more.

Now I find myself disregarding all of those questions and instead, my sole focus is on being the healthiest (mentally, physically, and emotionally) mama I can be for Baby Mac. I’ll figure out all of the rest later…
