Dear Baby Bump…It’s not your fault.

Dear baby bump...


You are a miracle in your own right.

You are so, so loved.

You are so, so wanted.

You are your own person.

You have your own space in our hearts.


It’s not your fault.

It’s not your fault mommy is sad sometimes…

It’s not your fault that you are coming after the darkest time in mommy and daddy's life.

It’s not your fault we will be overprotective.

It’s not your fault.


You are prayed upon.

You are being waited on.

You are so special to so many people.


We will love you for YOU.

We love you, forever.

We can’t wait for you to make your debut  🤍✨


Love,

Mommy ✨

Uncharted Territory: Week 30 - PAL Journey

Week 30 - PAL (Pregnancy After Loss) Journey        Fourth Pregnancy. Fourth Baby. Fourth Journey.   This is the longest I've ever been pregnant and it petrifies me.  Feeling the kicks, hiccups, rolls, punches is the best feeling in the world. Baby reminds me they're here and living their best life.  But, trauma also reminds me that it can be taken at any moment in time. Just last year I felt bliss, peace and felt like I was there. Just a couple weeks til I met my first-born son. Then, in the blink of an eye, it was all ripped from my arms.  How can I possibly hope again? Check out my older blog post Wavering Faith for deeper thoughts on finding my hope again. It was posted days before we found out we were expecting Baby E! 💛

She's Here! - Evie's Birth Story ✨

  Evie's Birth Story After everything we have been through, the greatest gift the Lord gave me was an "easy" pregnancy. Now, I put quotation marks around easy because, in theory, it was easy.  I was considered high risk due to my son's stillbirth ( Luca's birth story ), so we received extra appointments, extra tests, extra ultrasounds, extra monitoring and all the extras we could receive to bring babygirl earthside. Starting at 32 weeks I began the consecutive appointments, starting with a growth scan that showed me my babygirl's sweet face! I did NSTs (non stress test), BPPs ( biophysical profile ultrasound) and growth scans twice a week and an additional appointment for gestational diabetes and growth conversation with my MFM (maternal fetal medicine - high risk) doctor. As you can imagine, it gave me a sense of control and peace that I was doing the absolute most I could possible do for my girl. My perfect babygirl at 32 weeks 💜 Evie had been measuring a...

Back to work…End of Maternity Leave

Back to work from Maternity Leave… What a brutal awakening.  How short-lived. How eye-opening.  What intense guilt. If you’ve read my other posts you’d know that all I’ve ever wanted is to be a mama. Watch my babies grow up, hit their milestones and watch them as they conquer a new growth spurt or sleep regression. Roll, crawl, walk for the first time. Going back to work takes that from me. I’m more likely to miss those milestones working full time.  It's so hard to even picture a moment without my blessing, my answered prayer. When I went back to work after I had my Luca, back in 2022, I had an empty room, empty arms and a hole in my heart. I had no reason to go back to work and no reason to be home. But, being home meant I had to deal with the deafening quietness. I wish with all my heart our financial situation could be different and I could stay home with my babygirl. That’s something I hope to achieve some day.  Until then, I’m thankful my mom is able, wanting a...
