My husband and I set out on an adventure to find a yoga studio in town and dude, the experience we had…
Ps: I sure miss my yoga peeps back home!
Watch below!
Going on 13.
I won’t lie. These last two days have been incredibly hard. One step forward was ten steps backwards again. I give anything to switch places with her. I’m so incredibly thankful for the nurses and doctors behind her.
Stay strong sweet Annie. Til I hold you again.

Going on 10 days.
It’s a good day. I have been waiting for this moment. It’s like Christmas. There’s nothing like skin to skin bonding with this warrior. It’s the best!
She’s finally comfortable now that she has a wound vac. It’s been a struggle watching her in pain the last few days. She did so good with everything making her mommy and daddy proud of her strength.
Keep on sweet Annie.

Going on 9.
It’s been a rough couple of days for this tiny warrior. Every step forward seems like ten steps back lately.
My heart breaks for sweet Annie. This will hopefully all be over before she knows it soon.

Going on 5 days in NICU.
This week has been such a blur. I will get into it later. For those that are new to the news, read on about “My Pregnancy Journey” in my bio or www.thatdeafgirl.com.
After 5 days, we got to hold her again. It has been way too long. Full of happy tears.
She’s been making positive strides post surgery. It seems like each day, there’s a medication coming off, IV coming off her arms and feet, one by one. One day at a time.
I just love the way she smirks and knows we’re here for her.
Keep smiling Sweet Annie.

First family photo of 2020 in the books.
We are so in love and I can’t wait to share my birth journey with you all. Stay tuned.
We appreciate everyone’s love and support as she undergoes her first and hopefully only surgery this afternoon. She came into the world early at 36 weeks + 3 days with feisty cries and already has been a warrior since then.
Right now, as most of you know, she has what seems to be an isolated Omphalocele which is great but only the beginning of her long journey ahead. It also pains me that she’s not with us at Harris but we know she has the best care in the world at Cook’s NICU.
Keep fighting sweet Annie.

Feeling a little grateful on this Friday.
Last decade, when we first met, I remembered wondering if our relationship would go to places. If we could do long distance. If we shared the same values. If we could actually make it. Typical early relationship thoughts.
This decade, we’re about to have a family in a completely different state, with new lives, new outlook and mindset on marriage and family but having more gratitude everyday for how far last decade took us!
Here’s to many more decades of love, laughter, and adventures! Okay, let’s stop being sappy and have this baby already!
