Vaccinated Preggies 🤰🏻💉 Wrote new articles on #GretasJunkyard.com—including my experience being vaccinated while pregnant. Hope it helps enlighten those who are pregnant but still hesitating to get a vaccine. Should you have any questions or concerns, just ask your OB or talk to an expert! 💜 #PreggyFraggy

I started this year with every intention of sticking it out with my corporate job until the end of 2021. But plans and priorities change. I found myself leaving corporate again to focus on myself and the things I’m passionate about. 💜 I also chose to focus on my health so that my husband and I could finally start a family. Now, I’m 17 weeks pregnant! 🤰🏻 Sometimes, it’s important to take a step back and reassess what your plans and priorities really are. Had I stuck with my original plan, I don’t think I’d be as physically and mentally healthy as I feel today. And that probably wouldn’t have been healthy for the baby either.  If you need a little bit of inspiration (with a twist of comedic relief), check out @manulifeph’s video called “Now Boarding.” I think I was able to relate most to the guy starting a family. Feel free to share your goal reset in the comment section as well! Tagging my fellow hardworking ladies who understand me and value work-life balance as much as I do: @inagatan @gianagatan @paulinevitug 😊 #ManulifeEverydayBetter #ResetGoals #lifegoals
