A few mentioned dealing with a lot of stress and things going on, so I thought a Friday thread with some encouragement might be good. Share what inspires you.
Pregnancy is HARD ladies! It's hard on its own nevermind during a global pandemic. Plus those of us who have exhausting kids...HARD. Anyone managing anxiety after infertility or a loss...SO HARD. We are all doing our absolute best to take care of ourselves and take care of our babies so take a deep breath and pat yourself on the back. xo

Sending lots of love to all the mommas! You’re all accomplishing so much just by getting out of bed in the morning. Mom life and pregnant life are HARD and can have you doubting every decision you’ve ever made. Just know that we’re all in this together, for better or for worse.
I like Fridays because they give me a chance to slow down and separate the beginning and end of a week. Wishing you all restful weekends.
Also check out my challah I baked to celebrate the changing of the week. I like doing things where I don’t have to think about what I’ve got going on.
@mc0303 that is beautiful! I’ve been considering baking cookies with DD because she loves to bake with me and I enjoy the time with her. Plus, yummy cookies at the end of it!
