Finding out your expecting is a really exciting and life altering moment. Even though I’ve not had trouble getting pregnant, I still feel nervous to take the test when I suspect we have a new blue or pink bundle joining our family. It’s a good nervous, but the unknowns that begin at that moment are about to…
