So, here we go. It’s officially begun! The journey of taking off the pounds that being pregnant packed on. Things have changed. . . oh, have they ever. From high school when we seriously at pizza, breadsticks, and soda for lunch every day, to even my first pregnancy eight years ago. Because now I’m 42. […]
