SBTB will be gaining another staff member by the end of the year!

I’m officially out of the first trimester, which had a lot of gagging and all day nausea. There were times when I’d just gaze lovingly at the Taco Bell menu on Uber Eats.
We did an early blood test to determine sex and we’re very excited to know that it’s a girl. Honestly, it still doesn’t feel real and I’m surprised at the amount of joy and excitement I feel to get to know this little person when she arrives.
When my therapist asked what I looked forward to in terms of being a parent, it was seeing my child’s personality. What will be their passions and interests? A reader? A gamer? Both? Will they be an outside kid or an indoor kid? So many possibilities!
I’ve been with the site for over a decade and have been reading it much longer. The amount of milestones this community has seen me through only continue to grow. Am I crying as I write this? You know it!
My biggest love to Sarah, my fellow bitches, and the romance reading community.
