  • I dreamt of this photoshoot for years. When I got pregnant with Archer, we were so surprised. I found out I was pregnant on the same day I finished my bachelors. We weren't even trying, but we were so excited. It was the most textbook perfect and easy pregnancy and delivery, everything was incredible. I assumed that when we wanted to try for baby #2, that it would be just as easy. I was wrong, so so wrong. 2.5 years of trying, month after month devastated when all the tests would come back negative. I started to resent the body I was in. What was wrong with me? Why was my body failing me? Multiple tests done, diagnosed with PCOS, diet changes, medications prescribed, still nothing. I peed on countless ovulation/pregnancy strips, all just bringing more and more disappointment. I watched month after month, the age gap I was hoping for my kids getting further and further apart. Finally after advocating for myself for months, and getting new appointments with different doctors, I finally had more answers. A surgery, specifically a polypectomy, hysteroscopy, and D&C was needed to help my body become healthy enough to hopefully carry. Letrozole was needed to get my body to ovulate. And finally after years of failed attempts, I saw two little pink lines on a test the day before Jake's birthday. I couldn't believe it, but there it was, the hope we were waiting for. His birthday morning I woke him up so early to show him the best present I could give him, give our family, finally. Cont. in comments….

  • Cherishing this Mother’s Day spending it with the one who gave me all those stretch marks, and his sister who’s still inside filling them all in. Next year I’ll have both in my arms, and I can’t freaking wait. But for now, I want to remember these moments with my first and only baby before he shares the limelight. And shoutout to Archer for taking the last two photos, he’s been super into photography lately which makes my heart explode. đź’•
