To our great joy and surprise, we are thrilled to share I’m PREGNANT! For 16 months, we’ve been praying and pursuing adoption wholeheartedly. We’ve filled out stacks and stacks of paperwork, gone through tests, and spent money listing with agencies, all the while begging God for a baby. He answered in the most surprising way! It is with extreme gratitude and awe we share our pregnancy announcement. Our Journey to Build a Family If you’re new here, we started trying…
OUR JOYFUL PREGNANCY ANNOUNCEMENT
February 6, 2020
![How many hats are you wearing right now? Did you suddenly become a teacher while also working full-time from home? Are you worried about your income, working the front line, or just feel lonely? I’m excited to be partnering with @motherhoodmaternity on their The Juggle is Real campaign to share an open dialogue about the challenges and joys of this time. As we face something so unknown, I think it’s important to be honest about our feelings, give ourselves grace, and support each other. I know for me personally, I’ve had a lot more at home time with Ivy Jean and less time to work on my blog which is my livelihood. I’ve been searching for crafts, activities, and spending the majority of the day outside while also trying to fit in blogging. I am BOTH grateful for the extra time as a family creating memories and that our particular situation isn’t worse, AND I have moments where I lose patience, struggle with anxiety about our health and the future especially since I am pregnant, and more. I’ve also loved seeing our society slow down and get creative while prioritizing family, health, and neglected projects. The juggle is real, and I just wanted to remind 1️⃣ you’re amazing and 2️⃣ you’re not alone! Share YOUR story and hashtag #mhjuggle and/or DM me a story or picture about your juggle. I’d love to share them on my story and encourage each other that we are all in this together!!
