The best year of my life was also the hardest. The first week of 2024, my daughter was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect inutero. We fought like hell to make sure that when she was born she would have the best care & I am so glad we did. Once she was born the heart defect was much more serious than they had anticipated; surgery and recovery were hard, we spent 6 weeks living in a Ronald McDonald house (so so thankful for them), once she was released we had a lot of hurdles to overcome but life on the other side of that is so so beautiful. 2024 might not have been the most accomplished year for me but I came out on the other side stronger than ever. So thankful for everyone that walked with us during the scariest days of our lives. I hope the word to describe my 2025 is fun, because I’m ready for all the fun and adventure. #nicumom #ivfsuccess #chdwarrior #2024baby

·3d ago My first few flights as a new mom with a baby, I was an anxious mess but I just have to remind myself over and over that babies exist and they are allowed to be in public spaces as much as the next person. This midset change has made my flights so much easier. #travelingwithbabies

·1w ago The day before my induction to now. I don’t know how 9 months have gone by and we are already planning her first birthday because that first clip seems like yesterday. She’s so perfect, I’m so lucky I get to be her mommy. #firsttimemom #chd #nicubaby #heartwarrior
