I wanted to give a personal life update! I’ll make this short since this blog is about succulents.

I am pregnant!
This is my first pregnancy. I am about 4.5 months pregnant, which means I am in my second trimester.
I have been radio silent on the blog and in my garden because I was so nauseous during my first trimester. Doing anything besides sitting or laying down was unpleasant.
For the past few months, I have been neglectful towards my succulents. The good thing is that succulents can generally survive under such conditions. The majority of my succulents are alive, but a lot are struggling. They have a strong thirst as the California sun has been baking them. Some are, of course, sunburned. Some have pest damage. But I am not giving up.
I’ve heard that the second trimester is the “honeymoon phase” of pregnancy where you have some of your pre-pregnancy energy back. Therefore, for this second trimester, I’m going to pick this blog back up again.
When it comes to the third trimester, I’ve read it brings new challenges. Wish me luck for my third trimester!
