For those of you who haven't heard yet, I am expecting! I'm in week 10 of my first trimester and things are going great:) I'm over the morning sickness, it was quite brief for me thank God. Like many women in entertainment, I had a few concerns about how my new condition was going to effect my future work in the industry. I was encouraged by many women that I know, not to let it effect my decision to have a child. In the long run, family is my ultimate priority so it wasn't a huge obstacle to overcome, but I did question, what will happen?



Well, I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised that it is not an issue:) I had several hosting jobs on the line that I've been waiting to film, and since announcing my pregnancy, none of them have given me the boot. In fact filming on Picture This has taken off, I filmed with PBS for a new pledge break this week, and got a confirmation from Poly Hi FI that they still want to use me. I also have been in talks with a new Soap Opera Pilot being filmed in Jax soon and they don't see it as an issue either. Wow, maternity is in people!

Of course, I know I'm not showing yet, but they don't seem to think it will be an issue. This is encouraging to me, and hopefully for any of you ladies out here questioning your decision to start a family in the near future, you will see it as a sign that there is no reason to be concerned. Nothing really matters more that family anyways, but there is still life, and career ops available even in the entertainment industry when you do decide to have a family. Shame on me for being close minded and thinking it would be a set back. It proves that the only limitations we have, are the ones we set on ourselves.


 

PS, did you know that super model Giselle is preggers? How bout them apples?
