Today, I feel nothing but joy as I reminisce about bringing this girl into the world 7 years ago and a new chapter in life beginning.

Despite the 1st trimester gagging, the backaches, and heartburn&#8230;I generally enjoy my time with each child in this special time. But something changes in the 8th month.
