“My darling, every move and every kick of yours within me is a testament of both God and my mother’s continued love for me. You have changed me in ways that are inexplicable. We cannot wait to meet you”

“My baby, you are your grandmother’s answered prayer. She was so excited to meet you; even though you did not get to meet in the physical realm, I know she is currently holding you in the spiritual”

“I have often been asked where I got the strength to continue after my mother’s passing – I got it from my unborn child”

“I wanted the portion control to be there. I didn’t want to just lose weight and have an issue of portion control. I needed that help and decided to get it done”

“Physically I didn’t feel good and my feet would hurt. I would go to bed at night and my heart would be pounding. I was so scared because I had high blood pressure, which unfortunately runs in my family”

“That also came from me stopping to breastfeed. No one told me that if I stopped, I would be at risk of gaining weight”

“After that, I never managed to come back and show a lot of myself. I just had my child and kind of shielded her. I didn’t want people to come into our little bubble and I just stayed in it”
