As long as I can remember, babies have been my thing.
As early as I can remember, wherever I was, I would find the nearest baby and make them my buddy. I quickly became quite a popular babysitter in town, and over time people started joking that I was a bit of a baby whisperer.
What started as something I loved slowly became what I was known for. Today I’ve built a career helping moms and babies as an RN and lactation consultant, supporting families during those first precious months of life.
But as I’ve moved through my 30s, the pressure of my biological clock has become harder to ignore. The one thing I’ve always wanted most in life is to be a mom.
I never imagined doing it on my own… but life doesn’t always unfold the way we think it will.
So at 36, I’ve decided to pursue becoming a single mom by choice through IVF.
This isn’t something I’ve gone into lightly. It’s something I’ve thought about, researched, and wrestled with for a long time. In fact I’m already halfway through. I have decided to document some of the steps along the way.
If you’re curious about how this journey unfolds, follow along as we find out together. 🤍
