I had my daughter 4 years ago despite a difficult pregnancy and a traumatic birth and labor/delivery experience. Got hit with ppd and ppa very hard. We finally decided we were ready to continue growing our family last year and we gratefully got pregnant right away. Saw my OB for my first sonogram at 8
Getting pregnant wasn’t easy like you would think it should be. For my husband and I it took two years of trying. One full year of tracking my ovulation cycle.

Our journey began almost 5 years ago when we decided we were ready to have children. I was 39 and Ty was 34. We’d been together for 3 years and knew it was forever. I had my IUD removed and thought everything would fall into place and be super easy. My first pregnancy was at

I had 3 chemical pregnancies before I got pregnant with my living daughter. My pregnancy with my daughter was fairly normal, until it wasn’t around 31 weeks. That was when I started experiencing high blood pressure and swelling. At 32 weeks, after catching my blood pressure at 140/90 at home, I was first hospitalized and diagnosed with
Life is pretty ironic, and God has a unique way of answering prayers. In December of 2021 we found out we were having our 3rd baby, our baby to complete our family. It came by a surprise as we were not trying and actually still deciding if we wanted to have another. I felt it
