My husband and I aren’t exactly strangers when it comes to relationship challenges 💞. We have been together for 14 years and married for eight, so we’ve definitely gone through some growing pains as we navigated a long-distance relationship in college and our first year living together as a married 👫 couple.

But nothing has challenged our relationship quite like our first year as 👪 parents .

Before you have your first child, you have these grand ideas of what it will be like. There’s more slee...

“You look too young to be a mom!”

Or how about …

“You have a BABY? No! You look like a baby yourself!”👶
