Expecting a Whole Lot!

In August things are going to change a lot in my life...my husband and I are expecting a baby (gender TBD)! What an exciting, crazy, surreal time this is! At 16 weeks, I'm past the first-trimester nausea and yuckiness, and am now onto extra padding around the waistline that doesn't look like a pregnant belly yet. I have to keep looking at our first ultrasound picture to remind myself that, yes, there really is a little being growing in there. Pretty amazing.

So where does this leave my health coaching stuff? I definitely plan to slow things down a little during those first couple months, but the beauty of what I do is that so much of it is over the phone. Because of that, I can continue to "see" clients and do a lot of what I do now. I would miss it if I didn't, so don't worry - I'm not going anywhere. :) I love my work and I certainly plan to continue with it, but I'm sure there will be an adjustment period. I don't know...maybe we're always adjusting. Anyway, I am planning to be flexible and not have any major expectations besides being exhausted, a little crazy, and definitely in love with our little one.

When I was going through cancer treatment three years ago, I remember how significant family and friends were and how much I just wanted to survive and be around to be able to start a family of our own. Now, that time is here. I'm strong, healthy, happy and so ready for this next beautiful part of our lives.
