The Ultimate Guide to Preparing Your Heart and Home for Your Little Miracle
Okay, mamma-to-be, you're officially in the third trimester. Congratulations! You’re now a glorious, waddling mix of excitement, nerves, and sheer willpower. It’s like the third act of the world’s most dramatic play where the main plot twist is that sleep becomes an elusive myth, and your nesting instincts are on hyperdrive.
But hey, let’s face it, you’ve got the glow (everyone keeps saying it, so it must be true), and your social media feed is about to become a baby announcement extravaganza.
Preparing Your Kingdom for the Royal Arrival
