Where the motherhood journey actually begins
Yes, Mummy! You are pregnant.
Number 2! Growing up, I always thought parents sit down to carefully plan how they want their kids spaced and their body responds to this plan. Ha!

My baby is now a big man. Lol. So, two days after that Sunday, we found our… Continue reading Antenatal Care
