I am not a worrier. I have never struggled with anxiety. I typically handle stressful situations really well. I can stay calm and collected and power through. But being pregnant during a global pandemic? It’s brought me to my knees and left me crippled with anxiety. I’ve been brought to tears, thinking about the fact …

Social distancing. Schools are shut down. Restaurants are shut down. We’re stuck at home with our kids, alllll day long. I LOVE my kids and love the opportunity to spend time with them. However, not being able to leave the house… to grab a coffee or go to Target or meet a friend for lunch… …
