I am not sure how to describe the last 6 years. Full of grit and determination that I found in places I didn’t know I had within me. I was blessed to have an uneventful pregnancy and birth with my first child, Holden. Two years later, we got pregnant and then at 10 weeks had […]
Our journey started in 2018. We lost my mother in law in June and found out we were pregnant in August. This news was a light in all the darkness. We celebrated with family and friends, but unfortunately we found out very quickly that this pregnancy was not viable. The loss was shocking, lonely, and
“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
As I sit in my bed, after excusing myself from the mellow Saturday family hang-out downstairs, I am reflecting on “my story”. It’s easier said than done. Not only do I need to make physical time to write, away from distractions, I have to re-engage in the last year + of life-altering events. I have

On October 6, 2018 my husband Kyle and I were married. It was one of the happiest days of our lives. We had been through so much already as a couple, and couldn’t wait to start a family together. We talked about how many children we wanted, and even had names picked out before we
My husband and I met on a blind date in 2010 and have been married for 7 years now. We originally began our journey to become parents in January 2020. As COVID hit and the world shut down, we had a conversation in May 2020 about taking a break. Little did we know we were
1. Describe the process of getting pregnant. Was it easy for you? Was it hard? Did you have to go through fertility treatment? Getting pregnant was not easy for us, though we thought it would be. We spent a year after our wedding (which happened to be at the prime of COVID) tracking and timing everything. Eventually I scheduled
I’ve probably rewritten this story a dozen times in the months leading up to sharing it with the world. How do you narrow down almost 5 years, 4 pregnancies, 6 babies, and a total life change in few enough words that anyone would actually care to read it. Truth be told, each of these 4
