We Are Pregnant

WE ARE PREGNANT!

I still cannot believe I am typing these words and sharing this INCREDIBLE news with you all! JD and I could not be more excited for this new chapter in our lives. It’s been a long road to get to this point, but with lots of love, prayer, and a little bit of science, we have made it!

Baby Maas is estimated to arrive on March 2, 2021. I am currently 16 weeks pregnant! This has been a hard secret to keep the past four months. We are so excited to watch this baby continue to grow and develop. The human body is amazing, and I feel so blessed to be experiencing these changes.

JD and I had some struggles with starting our family. After about 1 year, we ended up seeing a fertility specialist. They were able to identify some issues and suggested fertility treatment. I won’t get into the details about that now, but 6 months later we had a positive pregnancy test! I would be happy to share some bits and pieces of our fertility journey, but today’s post is all about the joy and excitement of pregnancy!

The past 16 weeks have flown by already, and I am lucky that I experienced minimal symptoms in the first trimester. I wasn’t nauseous at all, just a little more tired than usual. So far, the second trimester has been great! I feel like I woke up the morning of the 13 week benchmark and felt like I could run a marathon, it is crazy how quickly things can change. JD has been amazing the entire experience and I am so grateful to be starting this journey alongside him. I cannot wait to see him as a father to our baby!

To say that I am excited for this chapter in our lives is an understatement, and I cannot wait to share this journey with you all! Thank you for your continued love and support. To those of you out there who may be waiting for your positive pregnancy test, I am thinking and praying for you.
