Announcement Photos! Rainbow Baby 🌈

Shannon • Mommy to Harrison James | 10.06.17 💜
Ever since I was a little girl, all I ever wanted was to start my own family. Over the last few years I have suffered two miscarriages, both at different stages and both very painful. At the age of 24, I was terrified I may never be able to have children- the only thing in life I ever truly wished for. Then January 26th came and at 6:30 in the morning before work, I found out that I was pregnant. I immmediately was afraid of another miscarriage and didn't allow myself to get too excited. That afternoon I bought prenatals and healthy food, stopped drinking Dr. Pepper (my drug of choice) & started the same routine I had with the other pregnancies. 6 weeks went by, and then 8, & then 10, two ultrasounds, hearing the heartbeat & then 12 weeks (the magical number) I finally allowed myself to be happy but was still scared. April 17th, I woke up at 4:15 to blood when I peed and cramps in my lower abdomen. Fearing, yet again, that I was suffering another miscarriage, I drove to the ER- numb & confused but still hopeful. 6 hours, several blood tests, an ultrasound, & a pelvic exam later I learned that my baby was completely healthy! & I was even a little further along than I thought! Heartbeat strong & exactly where he/she needed to be, I let all of my fear wash away and I truly started to embrace the fact that I was finally going to be a MOTHER. That my little angel was here to stay & I wasn't going to let fear take anymore of my pregnancy from me. These photos are from my reveal photoshoot one of my very best friends did for me. I was genuinely so happy & felt so beautiful for one of the first times during my pregnancy. Needless to say, sometimes life doesn't make sense, it can be hard, & scary, & it can hurt but if God gives you your angel- embrace every moment of it because it truly is the most beautiful gift a woman can ever receive.
