Baby C is Coming Soon
How we found out & my pregnancy so far
I am so overjoyed to bring you all in on the news that I am pregnant. Your comments and messages today on my announcement post have been such an injection of love - I’m truly so grateful for your kindness. I’d like to acknowledge upfront that I know pregnancy announcements can be emotionally fraught so I am sending all my love to anyone who this is the case for.
It was tricky to work out when the right time to share this was, but living somewhat of a double life was starting to take its toll and I wasn’t quite sure why I wasn’t sharing it anymore. Sharing our excitement with everyone has definitely been one of the best parts and I can finally stop breathing in!
I’m also glad to be able to share the reason why I’ve been pretty unproductive these last few months, which I’ve been feeling so guilty for. As someone who places a lot of their self-worth in their productivity, the act of surrendering to a slower pace has been very much at odds with my whole being. Thank you for bearing with me.
It was actually an increase in my resting heart rate that first made me think I might be pregnant. I’d been sleeping awfully for two weeks, not being able to get into deep rest and my Oura Ring confirmed that my resting heart rate was in fact about 10bpm higher than usual. I also wasn’t into chocolate and having been Hu Kitchen’s top customer for the year previous, this was quite strange.
