Pregnancy is a monumental, yet relatively small portion of one’s life. I find the physical, emotional, and mental transformation very interesting, so join me in my musings if it interests you too!

Transitions Fall Yoga Retreat Recap!

Transitions Fall Yoga Retreat Recap!

This retreat was definitely on the more adventurous end of the spectrum as far as our getaways go. With the wide array of recreational activities available, plus necessary foot travel to lodging, dining hall, yoga, and bathrooms/showers all in separate buildings, our participants really logged the miles over the weekend! We always encourage our guests to listen to their bodies and individual needs - don’t “should” all over yourself! But when you are a Minnesotan, you feel the tug of winter creeping in, and you want to bask in all the fall glory in front of you….so you do it all.

Woes of the First Trimester

Hey ya’ll - I’m pregnant! Again!

“Because it doesn’t last forever, because you don’t throw up enough for it to feel like a real problem, because it’s normal, because women brave this all the time silently without you knowing, because the reason for the debilitating fatigue and nausea is a beautiful baby. Because of all that I shouldn’t complain. If I do complain, it might make me seem ungrateful… right?”

If, like me, you too are/have experienced a challenging first trimester, I wanted to commiserate with you. Because misery loves company….just kidding… kind of. I wanted to share my experience because it feels good to not feel alone!
