Yes, you read that headline right! Can you believe it?! Because I know I still can’t? Those who needed to know, knew and now I want to share my big news with you guys. Your girl is… pregnant! It was definitely unexpected and it has been nice to enjoy my blessing without the world in my business. It was never about hiding my pregnancy, only blocking out negative energy and protecting my peace. Before I share with you all, I would like to thank everyone who has been with me on my journey as well as respecting my privacy. I still can’t believe I’m going to be a mommy y’all!
BACKSTORY ON PREGNANCY ANNOUNCEMENT
So BOOM! Your girl was going through ups and downs at the beginning of 2022. Being in a new state away from family and friends, it got tough feeling like I didn’t want to let people down that I was unhappy and confused. I was depressed. Typically about life in general. As a 20 something year old woman, everyone looked at me as if I was suppose to have it together when in reality I was still discovering who Desarae is; and I still am. Luckily, I did seek out counseling because I didn’t want the people I love and care about to tell me what I wanted to hear. I needed an unbiased answer from someone to tell me what I needed to hear. It was a relief to understand it’s ok to not be ok. Dealing with all of this, I was surprise to find out the symptoms I had been experiencing of preventing a pregnancy turned out to be the result of an actual one.
Along with this, I was mostly scared because this was not how I planned to have kids. I always thought I would be married with a successful career and living in my dream home. I had to remember God always have a plan whether you understand it now or later. Being the planner and organizer that I am, I decided to let things flow without me being worried every second of my life.
A DREAM COME TRUE
Undoubtedly, I was scared about this pregnancy because of a miscarriage I had in 2020. You can read more about it here. When it was time to go to my first doctor’s appointment at just 8 weeks, I prayed that this time around it will be a healthy pregnancy. Being nervous was an understatement while you’re sitting in that chair waiting to hear the news! The sonographer did announce that in fact everything looked good and that I was expecting not one baby but TWO! I looked at my boyfriend and couldn’t help but cry tears of joy. It was definitely an unexpected secret announcement I was not expecting to hear. October 2022 is the expected due date but twins really never make it to a full term pregnancy due to any complications that could happen.
