My name is Elizabeth and I am a mom to 2 amazing angel babies and a baby girl due to arrive in August 2026. I knew I always wanted to be a mom ever since I can remember dreaming of my future.
My husband and I got married in October of 2022 and a month later we decided we were ready to start growing our family. We went for a year and a half with no results due to military life, job schedules, and unknown medical problems.
July 2024, we gained our first angel baby, we were the only two that knew about them. Finding out at about 4 weeks, the exciting news unfortunately lasted a few short days until we experienced a loss.
December 2024, I finally got diagnosed with PCOS after 9 long years of searching for answers. I found an amazing doctor and team who has been wonderful ever since. We finally were able to get answers and come up with a game plan to help us conceive. Meanwhile, I took this time to be a healthier me. I started going to CrossFit, eating healthier, seeing a therapist and improving myself so my body was ready for pregnancy.
February 2025, we got our next positive test around 4 weeks. Unfortunately, this news lasted about a couple weeks until we experienced yet another loss. This time was more painful physically and mentally, but I wasn’t alone. This time I had my family, friends, and a team of doctors caring for me. Now the next 8 months was a tough time, my husband was deployed, I missed my babies, and I was grasping at what was in my control to better help our future children.
I took those 8 months to continue getting healthy mentally & physically, and that did happen! I felt like me again, enjoying life in the moments and not thinking about “what ifs”. Now looking back these moments, tough as they were, have made me into the mom I want to be and I am grateful for that.
My husband finally came home and a few months later we found out I was pregnant again. This time with a game plan with my doctor from the very beginning; even though all the anxiety still exists. I found out at 3 weeks and 4 days, now as I stand strong and hopeful in these photos, I am currently entering the 3rd trimester with our baby girl who is due in August 2026!
I am very excited to meet our baby girl in due time, but there are still moments where I worry about her and that I am doing everything I can for her and to protect her. I will continue to be a mom to all my babies earthside and heavenly with love, grief, and hope. These last 3 years are a reminder that, as we walk through our story, we may not always know the next chapter but if we keep moving forward we’ll eventually see the sunshine again!

My journey to motherhood started like many others, full of excitement and the assumption that it would just work out. Within three months of trying, we were pregnant. We were overjoyed. But that joy didn’t last long. Around five weeks, I miscarried. We were heartbroken, but we tried to stay hopeful. Then, the very next month, I was pregnant again. It felt like a miracle, like maybe the first loss had just been a terrible fluke. But at six weeks, we lost that pregnancy too. That was the moment I realized this wasn’t random. I went to the doctor looking for answers, but I kept hearing the same thing. Everything looks normal. Sometimes this just happens. Just keep trying. I never accepted that, because deep down it never felt right. Loss changes you. There is no way around it. When you lose a pregnancy, you don’t just lose a moment in time. You lose the dreams you had already started building. You imagine birthdays that will never happen, tiny hands you never got to hold, and a future that suddenly disappears. The grief is hard to explain unless you have lived through it. It is the grief that keeps…
