2019: Becoming a Mama
2019 was a tough year.
Anticipation. Shock. Fear. Worry. Surprise. Love. Anxiety. Relief. Doubt. Amazement. Pride.
But I guess 2019 ended up being a pretty good year.
Introducing “Bean”
Our daughter “Bean” was born on June 12, 2019.
Nothing about motherhood is easy. It’s hard. It’s really hard. Chronic illness makes it harder than hard.
In fact, I’d be blatantly lying if I didn’t say motherhood just really sucks sometimes. And I suck at it.
But my husband is amazing. My family is amazing. And most of all, my daughter (my daughter) is amazing. She’s already overcome so much and I don’t think I will ever cease to be amazed by every little thing she does.
Bean, Mommy loves you more than you will ever know.
Here’s to 2020!

Congratulations!!!! I remember reading your posts about endometriosis and wanting to be a mum. I am so happy for you!!!! She’s gorgeous :)))
I pray that God will bless, protect and provide for all your needs and your family’s. I pray that He will fill you with His peace on the days that are tough. I also pray for your healing!
Happy 2020!!
Thank you so much! It’s great to see you back! I appreciate the prayers more than you can know! 🙂
Congratulations to Bean!!!
Thank you so much! 😊
oh my goodness, what amazing news- I’m so happy for you!! She’s so precious. Yes, motherhood is definitely hard- it has been a lot more challenging than I was expecting. It does get easier though and you will find what works best for you and your baby. hugs!
So incredibly pleased that all the anguish of the past few years in the end couldn’t keep you from the one role you longed to fill – that of a mother. Your little bean may be tiny but everything she represents (and the fierce love that fought for the hope of her when it all seemed lost) is mighty. So are you. Your worst days of motherhood will be much better than the best of so many. The fact that you even care about getting it right will tell your bean more than enough. I remember when you first told me of your little bean. I’ve not blogged much or been able to keep in touch since then, but believe me when I say that each time I think about you with a beautiful baby daughter I struggle to prevent my heart from taking flight. You can’t ever fail her as long as you love her – please know that.
