Our Transferversary

One year ago today we walked into our fertility clinic for our 3rd embryo transfer. After two failed transfers, we had become somewhat numb to the process but also tried to stay hopeful that the 3rd time would finally be the charm for us to bring home our rainbow baby. After our first transfer failed,Continue reading “Our Transferversary”

Never Give Up

November 30, 2022. The date of my last blog post. 15 days after our 3rd embryo transfer. Two days after I took a pregnancy test. The test was positive 🙏🏻 A flood of emotions rushed over both of us. Excited, relieved, thankful, and at the same time terrified and worried that something would go wrongContinue reading “Never Give Up”

Thankful

It’s been a while, my friends. It seems that once the school year starts, I am in sprint mode until the holidays roll around! I’m sure my teacher friends can relate 😅 Finally coming up for air nearly 4 months since my last post. I’ve been wanting to share this story with you for weeks!!Continue reading “Thankful”

One Year Later

July 29, 2022. One whole year to the day since my very first blog post and letting the world take a glimpse into our lives as we fight our battle with infertility. It has been so humbling and eye opening to hear countless stories from so many of you that have opened up and sharedContinue reading “One Year Later”

Father’s Day

I’m not sure why, but Father’s Day has hit different this year. Maybe because we’ve been on this journey to parenthood for over 3 years. Or maybe because with every year that passes, we’ve told ourselves “next year we can celebrate this day”, or “surely it will work next time”. Today should be Josh’s 3rdContinue reading “Father’s Day”

Mother’s Day

Sunday May 12, 2019 Today is Mother’s Day. To say that today was hard is an understatement. Thoughts of pregnancy what-ifs rushed through my brain the entire day. “Will I be able to celebrate Mother’s Day next year with a baby of our own”, “When can we even start trying again?”. My doctor said afterContinue reading “Mother’s Day”

Much Needed Distractions

April 21, 2022… 3 years to the day since our world came crashing down on Easter Morning after our positive pregnancy test just a week before. A lot has happened in the 3 years since then; failed IUIs, IVF consultations, an egg retrieval, failed embryo transfers, an ectopic pregnancy, emergency surgery, referrals to more specialists,Continue reading “Much Needed Distractions”

“Keep Scrolling”

Anyone close to me knows that I go straight into protector mode when it comes to my family. Is sister bear syndrome a thing? Daughter bear syndrome? If so I have it, maybe I’ll make it a thing…with shirts and hats and the whole nine yards. You know, just like the mama bear/papa bear swag?Continue reading ““Keep Scrolling””

Cheers to a New Year!

It’s been a while, ya’ll! Life has been busy… halfway through year 7 in my teaching career, adjusting to my new school and working with the littles, trying to juggle all the things and keep my fertility clinic in line for the past few months had me a little distracted. New developments there, and playingContinue reading “Cheers to a New Year!”

A Storm’s a Brewin’

Saturday 4.20.19 Our friends headed out early this morning for the airport. It was so great seeing them.. We’re going to Josh’s parents tonight for dinner and Josh wants to tell his family we’re pregnant. We’ve gone rounds about waiting to tell our families and it being too early, what if something happens? Couples loseContinue reading “A Storm’s a Brewin’”
