Hello friends! I'm excited to share this bonus solo-episode with you all. The truth is I miss uploading twice a week, it was so fun to be able to talk to you more often about the things I care about and the things going through my mind! I hope to do more of these while on maternity leave-- which ps. I'm not going anywhere! I will still have weekly episodes (if not twice a week). Some of the things I chat about in this episode:How I'm feeling at 37 weeksEndless doctors appointments (NSTs, ultrasounds, etc.) because I'm "high-risk"How some of my friendships changed after I became a momBecoming an adult and setting boundaries around who I want in my life (and who I don't)My relationship with my doula (@jmtnjphotography)Feelings around applying for free pre-school and Archie changing schoolsHow the Holiday season used to make me feel sad because of my childhoodWhy I'm excited for Christmas nowRelated Episodes: Just Chatting: 30 Week Pregnancy Update - Gestational Diabetes, Hiring a Doulatog and PostPartum Doula, & Thoughts About My 2nd BirthJust Chatting: I had to put my 12-year-old dog downSupport the showConnect with Lina on @linaforrestal on InstagramFollow the @newmamaspodcast on InstagramRead Lina's Blog: www.linaforrestal.comSupport the Show: Buy Me a Coffee (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/newmamaspodcast)
