I journaled. I healed. I studied topics that made my heart sing and applied to jobs that aligned with my heart's many callings. I started working. Slowly but surely, I found my confidence again. I adopted a dog. I got married. Skipped across a river of milestones that wouldn't have happened had I been forced to pursue that pregnancy back then.” Read more.

“At 6 weeks the clinic said they think there was 2 sacs but maybe 1 wasn't viable. This broke my heart and I figured something was wrong with the pregnancy.

The ladies in the clinic said they wouldn't do it as I wasn't sure, but I wiped my tears and said no just do it otherwise I won't get this opportunity again.” Read more.

"The whole scan I was shaking trying not to let the tears stream out. Complete disbelief. Complete guilt and shock."

As someone who knows how much work being a parent is, it just wasn’t our time.” Read more.

“I had to think, if I go through this pregnancy, what is my life going to look like right now? I was literally two hundred dollars away from not being able to afford my apartment or anything.
