my push present 🤰🏻->🤱🏻

Prior to baby, 

I was hunting for the perfect push present,

my love language is gifts 

& at this point I have come to terms that it is better to be very specific 

with what I want so I am not obligated to wear something I don't actually like 🤷🏻‍♀️

saves everyone a headache.

I was looking for a ring that had three diamonds set in a starburst pattern 

reminiscent of the little white burst of light that we saw when the embryo 

that would grow into Little Charlie was transferred.

Upon lots of research, including scouring for vintage, 

I came across this 14K gold band from Ferko's

& it was like all of my requirements were checked off a list!

It is perfection!

Love it on its own

Also love it stacked with my wedding band & engagement ring!

It's perfect

🥰

Mother's Day 2022 (a last minute maternity 📸 shoot!}

Not going to lie I have a lot of complicated feelings around Mother's Day, 

as it has been 4 years of trying and 4 Mother's Days without having a baby.

I know I am closer than ever and that I am incredibly lucky

but it doesn't make the struggle or journey any less painful and hard.

I wrote this in my notes app last year and it still feels so raw,

after my first (of many) IVF transfer cycles would be cancelled:

I had posted this on my Instagram Story, not ready to say much else...

But the truth is, a positive test does not guarantee a baby, 

nothing does really.

Better to never ask.

I took a poll on my Instagram Stories a couple months ago,

wondering out loud if I should do a maternity photo shoot,

still was on the fence until about two weeks ago...

Well I ended up doing it, 

last minute of course...

Shout out to my friend Brianna Lynn Photography for working with my schedule 

and dealing with my excess of prints...

Excited to meet you little one 💙

Let's end with a laugh:
