The Story
What is it that fuels each and every one of us in this world? Is it our job? Our social followings? Our children and spouses perhaps? For me, it has always been the thought of being a mother and a wife. Of course, I can sit here and think that life was not supposed to play out this way, that I was going to be married at 21 and immediately pregnant. My 7-year-old self is laughing right now at the thought of things going smoothly because playing baby dolls and always having the role of "mommy" was enough insight of my future dreams. However, the adult in me knows that I was put on this path because I am strong enough to handle it. Now I would be lying TERRIBLY if I did not admit to having my fair share of emotional breakdowns. Imagine the one thing in life you want the most, something completely obtainable but you still somehow are not able to have it. It is a cruel joke to know deep down what you were made to do and not be able to do it.
What is the story behind the Journey to Baby D? Below I will link the original video that started it all. The point of no return for the openness I have decided to have with everyone. Since the original video, Chuck and I have been told by several doctors that we did experience a miscarriage last year. Due to the hospital never conducting any test and just sending us home with miscarriage paperwork, we will never know for sure. Our hearts tell us what we need to know and that is all that matters. In a way, hearing it was a miscarriage has given us hope in knowing we can in fact conceive.
This blog is going to highlight our journey for our rainbow baby. I want to be as open as I can with you all and I hope that you continue to be on this journey with us. Subscribe for updates on this blog, I will no longer be posting them on Facebook.

This was not meant to be a vlog post, it was a quick Facebook, cellphone quality video!
