Another sound people miss? Conversation. In fact, 62% of people respondents said social distancing has put a big dent in “the art of the conversation.” (SWNS)

I’m a little over 33 weeks today!! I’ll have a planned c-section this time, so I’m crossing my fingers that this delivery is easier than the last one. Thinking about my delivery with Lily, a 24 hour labor that lead to a c-section, that was HARD . So hopefully things will be smoother this time.
