I have tried several times in the course of a month to write my birth story but it has been difficult since I am in recovery and also a crying hungry baby doesn't help.  The purpose of this blog post isn’t to intimidate you about birth or having children.  It is simply a way for me to share my journey (and your journey will be different and uniquely your own) and to let women know that birth may not be what you expect.  I feel that a lot of women knock themselves down so bad when something doesn’t go as planned but that is what motherhood is … a lot of unexpected moments!  

As I am nearing the end of my pregnancy, I am filled with all sorts of emotions -    both  excitement and fear!  Excited the fact that we are going to meet our baby soon but fearful of not knowing how my labour will go and how my new chapter will begin.   In reflecting upon these 9 amazing months,   I really love to share with you pictures from our maternity shoot and hope that it will help you gain some insight on pregnancy if you are planning and also some inspiration on your maternity shoot in the future. 

​With my baby on the way very soon (due in mid June or earlier) I want to share with you some pictures from my surprise (very) baby shower that my lovely girls threw for me in April!  I usually don't do posts that are really intimate about my life but I really want to share this special moment with all of you and hopefully help you plan your next baby shower for your friends.  

I haven't done a blog post on fashion for awhile so I thought it would be  a great opportunity to showcase some Mother's Day inspiration since I will be a MOM soon myself.  This year has been truly special and being pregnant was the most amazing and hardest thing I have ever done.    You never understand something until you go through it yourself and I have  to say I am so thankful for all the support, love and best wishes I have gotten :)   So to every beautiful mom out there raising their children in utmost style and fashion- Happy Mother's Day!
