Hey there, fabulous future parent! So, you've just embarked on the wild journey known as pregnancy, and you're probably feeling all the feels. First off, congrats! You're in the first trimester, a magical time where your coffee cravings are replaced with pickle obsessions and you're suddenly a human nap machine.
But let's not kid ourselves, this is also the part where you're secretly Googling whether it's normal to cry over a missing sock. Spoiler: it is. But hold onto your stretchy pants (check out Emamaco's maternity leggings for maximum comfort) because you're about to discover the unexpected joys of parenting that make the chaos oh-so-worth-it!

Baby smiles: Nature's way of saying, "You're doing great, mama!"

Naptime: When the house is quiet, and the coffee is finally hot.

Warning: Your heart's new permanent state is 'melted'. Handle with care.
4. Tiny Achievements, Monumental Joy
Every little milestone is a reason to celebrate. First giggle? Champagne! First steps? Find your party hats! Parenting makes even the tiniest achievements feel like you've won an award – the 'Parent of the Year' kind that you've always deserved.
