One Day At A Time

            I was recently on a panel to answer questions about miscarriages, infertility and my journey in general. I have since had people come up to me as well as message me with other questions, so I decided to write a post about these because I'm sure others have similar questions as well. I really appreciate it when people aren't afraid to ask about what Nate and I have gone through to get a better understanding of our journey and what others may be experiencing. I am more than happy to answer any question I can so please feel free to message me or ask me in person about anything to do with our journey. I have made it a goal to raise awareness about pregnancy loss and I hope that this post helps.            I think the most frequently asked question that Nate and I get is, "how do you do keep going?" Well, the alternative is dying and that’s not really an option, so we just continue on by...

Sorry it has taken so long for me to post an update! It has been a busy few weeks and I just haven’t had time to sit down and write. So first of all, my appointment with the specialist went well, but Nate and I will not be going back to him. He was incredibly kind and he spent a lot of time with us but he ultimately suggested we let go of our dreams to have children naturally. He said it is entirely our choice, but that my body is not equipped to carry a full term pregnancy. He gave us a packet on surrogacy and encouraged us to look into it because my chances of miscarrying or having a stillbirth are much higher then the typical woman. I appreciate the information he gave us, however Nate and I are not ready to give up yet. We understand that there is the possibility of losing more children and if that does happen, it will be heartbreaking, but I will still love and cherish each child we are blessed with regardless of how long I am able to carry.     ...
