You love your baby, but you miss yourself. No one really prepares you for this part. You expect the exhaustion, the healing, the constant learning curve.

Pregnancy is such a unique season of life, full of anticipation, change, and let’s be honest, a fair share of discomfort too. When Christmas rolls around, the best gifts for pregnant moms aren’t about baby gear (she’ll get plenty of that at her shower) but about caring for her. Here are some of my favorite…
