Hello everyone and welcome to Freckled Foodie and Friends, a podcast focused on

making healthy living approachable hosted by yours truly Cameron Rogers.

Guys I can't believe I am doing this. I cannot believe I am saying this. I can't believe I

even saying this. I can't believe it's real. I can't believe I finally get to share it with you all.

This is probably the most exciting episode I've ever recorded. if you can't tell already by the title

I'm pregnant with a little baby boy I am like tearing up even saying those words. I get really emotional when I tell people. I wonder when that will ever stop like even if I'm telling like somewhat like a hostess at a restaurant when I'm asking to like sit
