I think personalized grandma gifts are such a sweet Mother’s Day idea, especially for families with a new baby or growing grandkids. The ones with birth month flowers and custom names feel much more personal than a standard gift and can become a keepsake she’ll actually display at home. If anyone wants to look it up on Amazon, the item name is “Personalized Birth Month Flower Wooden Decor, Grandma Mothers Day Gift, Custom Name for Mom Nana Gigi, Grandkids Names, Custom Family Birth Flower Decor, Christmas Gift.”
Congrats on the potty training wins!! My two year old is rocking pee on the potty but i am ready to stop dealing with the poop incidents any freaking time!
Hey there, I’m Julie, I’m 36 years old, and this is my first pregnancy. I got married 3 years ago in July, and my husband and I have been on a health journey losing weight and reversing diabetes. I had lost 71 lbs and our plan was to continue losing more weight for a less risky pregnancy - we thought we would start trying in 4 months - but God had other plans and we got pregnant! I am 7 weeks and I am due Nov 25th. I have to say I definitely panicked at first, I am definitely considered an obese pregnancy - and I am older than 35, and I have a history of diabetes and high blood pressure and my family has a history of miscarriages. Honestly I didn’t even know if we could get pregnant. But after talking to my sister-in-law she helped me shift my perspective and focus on celebrating what we have for as long as we have it. I am hopeful that in Nov I will hold my baby in my arms. We’ve sure prayed for it for years so it’s hard not to get our hopes up too much. Next week is our first appointment - hopefully that will calm my anxious heart a bit. Thankful and nervous.
That's so awesome! I accidentally had my firstborn 3 years into marriage too. We were young and in college still and didn't have anything in order, it was nerve racking but the biggest blessing ever! Now I want all the babies whenever God will give them to me 😂 even if the circumstance isn't what I had hoped for or pictured. I'm so happy for you both and I hope the pregnancy goes smoothly 🙏
Hello! I’m 33. 7weeks. I have already had an ultrasound which was due to being post missed miscarriage. Small traumatic story. Lost baby and had two D&Cs two months apart. Constantly bleeding. Never had a period and found out I was pregnant. I have tried to be as calm as possible. But I broke up with the Dad and have no desire for him to be involved. Unfortunately he is very prideful and I’m sure will make my life miserable. It’s such a struggle because I wasn’t ready. Had sex once and conceived. Any single mommas have advice. Not trying to be a negative person but it has me so stressed.
My first time here and my first baby.. I’m in my late 20’s and scared as heck trying to navigate through this new life and journey I’m on. My fiance is amazing and has been a huge help, love him. I am a first responder, so currently slightly struggling with the stigma regarding that but otherwise loving life (minus this damn morning sickness).
Hi! Congratulations to everyone! I’ll be honest; this was a bit of a surprise to us. I tested around 3 weeks because I suddenly felt nauseous and it was oddly reminiscent of when I was pregnant with my daughter. . DH and I have two other children. I’m due at the end of November. Wishing everyone a healthy pregnancy!
Hi! I'm pregnant with my second baby due the week of Thanksgiving. My son will be 2 and a half We are all currently rooting for a girl this time around, but we'll have to wait and see! Wondering if the second will have red hair like me and my son. I'm a working mom but planning to space out my maternity leave this time around for more time in all the baby stages. So excited for my oldest to become a big brother!

So sorry for your loss and hoping this is a healthy pregnancy! As a friend to a few single moms, I will say - please don't hesitate to reach out for help when you need it! Especially any mom friends you have or are soon to meet. Libraries and mom groups are great ways to meet parents and form a support structure. Wishing you the best!
