What was one of my favorite things about pregnancy? Getting my Monday updates with new information on my baby’s development, size (would she be a Furby or gellie shoe this week?), and what incredible changes were taking place in my body.

I took classes to prepare for labor, learned exactly how big 10 cms is (eek), how to swaddle, and even crafted the “ideal” birth plan.
