I was definitely shocked! Artem and I had just gotten engaged and the last thing I was expecting was to find out I was pregnant.

Have you experienced any sickness? Any extreme food cravings?

My pregnancy is going great amid COVID-19. I am grateful for my health. I can’t believe I am already close to the finish line. I can’t wait to meet my baby boy! My first trimester I felt like I had a hangover every day. I was like, I am not even drinking wine and I feel this way. Second trimester was amazing— just like what everyone told me. It definitely made being in lockdown harder because I just wanted to be out and about and couldn’t. Third trimester has been exhausting. Some days, it’s hard to get out of bed. And goodness the swelling has definitely started to hit me!

What has surprised you most about pregnancy?
MINI |
Definitely how the body works and changes. Physical changes and internal changes. I find it so incredible how you can feel your baby grow, hiccup, kick, punch. Goodness, all of it.
