Our Journey to our Rainbow In the fall of 2018 my then boyfriend and I had a discussion about starting a family. I gave him an ultimatum that we didn’t have to get married right then and there but if we wanted kids we’d need to start asap since I was already 38 years old and […]
After 5 years of trying to conceive, my husband and I welcomed our double rainbow baby Alden James on October 1st 2024! It was a very long road to get here and unfortunately, our story is riddled with infertility diagnoses and recurrent loss. After trying for a baby for 3 years, we lost our first child
“If it happens, it happens!” That was our mindset for about a year. We stopped using protection and just casually hoped a little one would pop up in my belly. At the end of that year, we decided we were absolutely ready to start a family. But we were a little concerned about why it

My husband and I were married in 2016. In 2018 we got pregnant with our now 5 year old after 2 months of trying. The pregnancy was amazing…no morning sickness, no complications other than needing a c section. We decided to start trying for another baby in 2021. After 2 years of trying we decided
My story begins in 2018, two years before embarking on our TTC journey, back when my now husband, Sean and I were still just dating. Today, we live in Atlanta, GA, but back then, we were living in Washington DC. Life was beautiful. We were traveling a lot, we were enjoying living in a new
