It's always good to re-watch an old series, especially when it feels like you are watching it again for the first time. The TV show Desperate Housewives was very popular in the 2000's, and I watched it as a kid, not really understanding what was going on.

Here are some misleading things I learned about pregnancy
There are a lot of things that we learn about when it comes to pregnancy. Most schools in most countries provide sex education and we learn about 'the birds and the bees', but when it comes to the different trimesters of pregnancy and what to expect, we usually have to educate ourselves about it. However, there are also family members, friends and acquaintances that like to share their insight from experience or what they have learnt too.

The Last Chapter
I never thought that this day would come. You see it in movies, and you hear stories about it, but you never think that it will happen to you. Everything around me was dead silent. The only thing that I could hear was my heart pacing fast. My palms were so sweaty, but she wanted to hold my hand tightly for comfort.
