I strive to empower women through education and inspiration, so that they can create peace in every decision and joy in the journey. I want to replace fear with facts when it comes to infertility, pregnancy, and parenting.
Join me on my journey through the up and downs of positive pregnancy tests, IVF, adoption, pregnancy, and miscarriage.

Bonus Clue!!

Are you playing along for the baby name reveal game? We are on day three of five but here is a bonus clue:

I slipped up a few times in my early bumpdates and revealed the gender. Thank to the fox eared viewer who pointed out when I said "he" or "she". I also might have not quite cropped screenshots from pregnancy apps enough to hide the gender in those early vids.

Good luck!

HAPPY WORLD ADOPTION DAY!

One of these years I will be on top of things and get a cute family photo for this but this is not that year(thanks morning sickness). I did want to take the time to say thank you to all the awesome advocates that are posting all month long for #nationaladoptionawarenessmonth.

I will be sharing some of their educational and heartfelt posts on my stories and I would implore you take the time to learn about supporting foster care families , adoptive families, and adoptees.

Adoption is wonderful, heartbreaking, humbling, and filled with love. I will be forever grateful to my daughter's birth mother and humbled beyond belief that she let me become a parent.

Sooooo I cut all my hair off!!

Every few years I remember that I am not really into doing my hair and that I look cute in a pixie cut. Together these things make my hair stylist's dreams come true and she gets to lob off my hair.
