Although my birth story did not play out how I had hoped, it was still the most incredible day of my life. Adrianna Novella Guarino was born on 9/11/17, weighing 6lbs 6oz and 18.5 inches long. She scored a 9 out of 10 on the apgar test and was as healthy as could be. I had planned and dreamed of …
Time is flying by and now that I am in the third and final trimester, I’m realizing just how close we are to meeting our precious little girl. Words cannot describe how excited and thankful I am. A lot has happened in the past few weeks. I decided to shop around for a different doctor/midwife and realized that the doctor …
Food, fitness, work, baby kicking and tumbling, meditation, preparation, and relaxation; a day in the life of this pregnant lady.

Thankfully I have been living a purified lifestyle for …
Thank goodness I’m feeling a million times better in the second trimester, than the first. I was starting to feel like a zombie, but now I’ve actually been able to workout and eat somewhat normally again. Hurray! We find out the gender next Friday, I can hardly wait, my intuition is telling me it’s a boy, Dominick thinks it’s a boy …
