Pregnancy-Friendly Recipe // Chickpea Melt

You read it from the books; you’ve heard it from the doctors.  It’s like being 10 again and Christmas Eve night lasts a life time, and Christmas Day goes by in the blink of an eye. It’s like baking a cake and waiting for it to cool before putting the icing on, or knowing what your work bonus is without having the money yet.

I can make a million comparisons to the agonizingly long wait before a mama finds out she’s pregnant. Sometimes there are 101 symptoms that come along with the wait, and other times there are absolutely none. There are so many highs, and often, many lows that come along with this journey. But even though there are days where you’d rather throw your hands up in the air and give up, just remember – good things come to those who wait.
