The news is out, I’m pregnant! I’m so thrilled to FINALLY share the news that Kris and I are expecting our first child early next year. In today’s episode, I break down my experience so far, from preconception tips, my blood sugars, and, of course, what I’ve been craving! I also answer listener questions, such as what surprised me most, what advice would I give, and I share my favorite prenatal vitamins and app for pregnancy.
