Pregnancy from prior to conception to all the way to birth is out of our control.If it was up to us- we would get pregnant right away, get through that first trimester without miscarrying and carry/deliver a healthy full term baby.As we know- pregnancy may not go ccording to our "plan" and no matter what we do, what will be will be.This is the story of how and why I was put on pelvic rest.Thank you for being here. xo

Episode 16- Find peace during COVID 19

I love my husband and I love our marriage - and we also disagree and fight. We've had to really put in work to get over hurdles.11 years together and you're bound to hit a rough patch (patches).When you have a child it's like you think all the hard parts will go away - when in reality any issue you had prior to children becomes maginified.It becomes too big to not see it anymore and I think it's all apart of the divine plan to show us all of the cracks in ourslves and our foundation so we can work to make it the strongest possible for our little one.

I personally have never had a miscarriage but this is my first experience with one when I was 7 years old.I have full permission from my strong momma to speak about this story.One that I will never forget and one that has shaped me to be so compassionate towards women who have experienced this type of loss.Although I have never experienced this loss I sympathize deeply with the women who have.My heart is with you all - always.This episode is in memory of the babyboy my mother misscarried at 6 months -my brother in Heaven- Jonathan.

Episode 7 - Paint the sky indigo

It is no secret that relathionships are hard. I have never met anyone that had said their entire relationship has been easy. No matter what - there will be a rough patch or ups and downs at some point.After having a child your relationship goes through a rough patch. You're sleep deprived, irritable and disconnected from your partner. Yet all you see in movies,magazines or social media is the unrealistic protrayal that a baby has completed your union and you are now living in complete bliss. FYI: That's not the case for most.For some real talk hit play!

Hair in a bun, running out the door to get my little one to daycare and can't remember the last time I washed my hair.
