Friends, we made it. The last day of 2018 is officially here, and it’s so very sweet. This year has been one of the biggest years in my life, and when I look back on the past 365 days I can't help but be joyful. 2017 was one of the darkest years of my life and 2018 has been the most restorative.

Too soon…
I’m completely broken – but I know the one who restores. It feels as if my heart is shattered and is just tiny pieces on the floor. Last night my water broke.

At 26 weeks his chances of survival jump to around 80%. It’s hard for me to lay here thinking of these dates – the doctors only gave us hours on Friday and yet God has ... View the Post
Quinn’s journey
Here I am, on bed rest – fully by the grace of God – after what I thought was a rocky pregnancy for the first 15 weeks. Since I found out I was pregnant I have been bleeding, just brown spots at first which at 12 weeks turned into massive cramping and bright red blood – leading to several unexpected ER visits and still no answers. At the second ER visit they discovered that I had what is called a subchorionic hematoma – and probably a hemorrhage causing the bleeding but they couldn’t ... View the Post
