I have been walking the road of infertility for nearly ten years. My first husband and I spent years pursuing treatments without success, and eventually our marriage ended. Later, God brought my now husband into my life, and he stepped into this journey with me with incredible strength and faithfulness. I have PCOS and, at […]
Their journey to parenthood has been marked by both unimaginable heartbreak and incredible hope. It began with the loss of their first pregnancy through miscarriage, a heartbreaking reminder that even the smallest lives leave lasting footprints. Not long after, they became pregnant with their daughter, Elsie. Her pregnancy was healthy, uncomplicated, and everything parents hope
I don’t remember a time when I didn’t want to be a mom. When I picture little me, I see dolls lined up across my bedroom floor, Barbies with elaborate lives and stories, and little sisters who always had another game to play. I don’t know why motherhood mattered so much to me, but it
On May 12, 2022, Hunter and I started trying for a baby. We were full of excitement, hope, and dreams about growing our little family. That very first month, we conceived. It felt like a miracle, and on May 27, 2022, we found out we were pregnant. But only a short time later, our world

My partner and I met late in 2021, and began dating in 2022. About a year later, we found out we were pregnant. Shocking, to say the least because we were not even trying, but nonetheless we were both excited! We had already previously talked about wanting at least 2 children. We wanted to keep
In August 2023, we found out we were expecting our third baby. We nicknamed the baby “Peanut” and carried the excitement of our growing family everywhere we went. Looking back, I’m so grateful for the memories we unknowingly made together. Disney World, Christmas lights, family trips, decorating a nursery, and dreaming about the day we
In the Summer of 2022, I found out that I was pregnant. My husband Daniel and I were overjoyed, and enjoyed a healthy and uneventful pregnancy. At 37 weeks, I had a very fast and relatively easy labor. But things suddenly changed once my daughter was born. They placed her on my chest, and I
Finding My Rainbow Before I ever held my daughter, I already knew loss too well. I experienced five miscarriages. Five moments of hope that turned into heartbreak. Each of these left a mark (not just on my body, but on my spirit). I remember sitting in waiting rooms surrounded by other expectant moms, trying to
It was supposed to be a normal day—just me and my now-husband heading out to visit his family. He always joked with his mom, calling her “grandma,” and that day I joined in too. “Hi, Grandma,” I said casually. She stopped, looked me straight in the eyes, smiled, and sent my husband to buy me
