It's been way too long

It's been over a year since my last post. Where did 2024 go? And where did I disappear to?

Let me tell you, 2024 was quite the year for me and my family. In one of my old posts, I wrote that I wanted to make JOY the word for 2024. Well, most of the year was the complete opposite of joy for me, if I'm being honest. A major life event happened in January 2024—I found out I was pregnant! I was happy, yet terrified at the same time. I had a really scary postpartum experience with my second daughter and probably some PTSD because of it. I also suffered a miscarriage back in 2020 that was absolutely devastating. Combine both those things, and it made for a roller coaster of emotions, mainly fear, for the better part of the year.

That being said, I am extremely happy and thankful to be able to write that I am officially a mommy of three! It's so wild to write that and to still wrap my head around. I am absolutely in love and find myself wondering if this is real life sometimes. I can't believe he's really here with us. I am so grateful to God for this amazing blessing in my life, and although my anxiety was at an all-time high, I feel so fortunate that He allowed me to experience pregnancy one more time. A true reminder of how remarkable the female body is!

Now that things are a bit more settled, I hope to post more and would love for you to join me. Last year was not my best reading year, but I still read some good ones and will post about them soon, as well as those I'm reading in 2025.

Until the next one!
