Just Chatting: 37 Week Update, Friends Disappearing After Becoming A Mom, Induction Date, and Feeling Excited for Christmas
Hello friends! I'm excited to share this bonus solo-episode with you all. The truth is I miss uploading twice a week, it was so fun to be able to talk to you more often about the things I care about and the things going through my mind! I hope to do more of these while on maternity leave-- which ps. I'm not going anywhere! I will still have weekly episodes (if not twice a week).
Some of the things I chat about in this episode:
- How I'm feeling at 37 weeks
- Endless doctors appointments (NSTs, ultrasounds, etc.) because I'm "high-risk"
- How some of my friendships changed after I became a mom
- Becoming an adult and setting boundaries around who I want in my life (and who I don't)
- My relationship with my doula (@jmtnjphotography)
- Feelings around applying for free pre-school and Archie changing schools
- How the Holiday season used to make me feel sad because of my childhood
- Why I'm excited for Christmas now
