    Journey to Motherhood

    If being and becoming a Mom is a test for your anxiety, worrying and overthinking everything then, it’s the best one there is. And it’s a journey not everyone gets to experience. I definitely took it for granted, I mean... growing up we were told you could easily get pregnant and how careful you had to be. So why wouldn’t you be able to get pregnant on your honeymoon, or as soon as you wanted? Why wouldn’t this be something in life that could be perfectly thought out and pla

    On the Other Side

    Going through hard stuff in your life. It's like falling into a lake. Once you do it you can't go back. You can get dried off but you will always have that experience of falling in. You will associate lakes with fearful thoughts. When you walk up to the edge of the lake you will think about the last time or that one time when you fell in. You can't take back experiences and experiences can shape your future. They can make or break it, they can literally create it. And you get

    Postpartum Post-Infertility

    The buildup to having a baby is a big one. The wait. The excitement, the anticipation. It’s a life change, a momentous event. And then the buildup to having a baby when you waited years and went through infertility treatments is even more of a climb. Like hiking up a mountain, without water on no sleep, in the dark… sans flashlight. That kind of climb. And then you get to the top the instant the sun peaks over the mountain and illuminates the whole sky. And you feel that acco

    You Don't Need Permission

    You don't need to wait for someone to tag you and give you permission to feel good about yourself, to post a black and white photo. To feel sexy. To make money, to want to be successful. We tend to down play ourselves as women as to not over shine anyone else. To not make anyone else feel bad or feel not good enough. Because really do we not feel like we are enough, ourselves? You don't need to be asked, to be told it's ok to want things. To want your dream life. It's ok to w

    Saying Goodbye

    I said goodbye. I said goodbye to a life that I thought I wanted. To a life that I did want. To a life that I worked so hard to get. To make happen. Everything I envisioned, I created. I said goodbye to an amazing place and an adventure for a new life I wanted to create. For a new little actual human life I knew in my heart was on the way. Sometimes we have to say goodbye to what we thought we wanted. To what we needed. To what we needed in order to get to where we are now. S

    Following the Rules

    Following “The Rules”. . . Do you have a rule book for yourself? The should’s and should not’s that you “allow” yourself to do. Do you hold yourself back from things? Or tell yourself you need to wait to do something you really want? I’m not ready. I need to accomplish THIS before I can try doing THAT. I have to lose 5lbs before I wear the new bikini. I have to be single for x amount of months before I can date again. I can’t eat that donut unless I do the stair climber for 4

    Vision Boards do Come True

    I posted this exact pic on my vision board. . And then I saw it come to life. Probably about three years ago, after we lost our first pregnancy. It seemed too good to be true. I was just about to turn 35, we were celebrating our ONE year wedding anniversary in a few months and we got pregnant on vacation ! . . Then you hear the words “sorry there is no heartbeat”. And your heart breaks. It breaks over and over and over again with every passing month. Every month with a negati

    There's no Cure for Infertility

    With a positive pregnancy test and a viable pregnancy, Infertility is cured right? All your pain goes away, you reached your end goal and never have to think about it again. ... Think again... This is the day after we found out we were pregnant. I sat on the couch for about 3 days straight waiting for the phone call from Main Line Fertility just like all the other days in the three months prior, waiting for embryo reports, waiting for test results, waiting for blood work, wai
