I am just days away from officially welcoming the second trimester, and it can’t come soon enough! This has been my hardest pregnancy by far…a sinus infection magnified all of my pregnancy symptoms, leaving me bedridden and miserable for almost two weeks; I’ve spent much time huddled on the bathroom floor, alternately anticipating and dreading throwing […]
Why, yes, we DO have our hands full!
