Thought it was time to tell my story.

In December of 2015 I became pregnant with my first child, Skyler. She was born on September 15th, 2016 and passed away on September 25th, 2016, exactly ten days after she was born due to an infection.

Three months later, in December of that same year, I became pregnant AGAIN (huge shock!) and gave birth to my second daughter, Harper Elizabeth on September 13th, 2017. She is healthy, happy, and growing up so incredibly fast! She is now four going on five months old.

After losing my first baby, I never would have imagined myself sitting here with a healthy baby. I never thought that I would have the chance to be a mother again. I thought that I would always have this empty space in my heart from being a mother and having it taken away in the blink of an eye. But now the pain that I once felt has been taken away. Yes, I still think about and miss my daughter every single day, but I am reminded that she is in a better place every morning when I wake up to see the sun peeking out from behind the dark clouds. Every time I see the sun shining I am reminded her and I can feel her smiling down on me and her baby sister. We will continue to celebrate her life every year for as long as I live, but now we have the chance to do it with a beautiful rainbow baby by our side.

Ladies, there is a rainbow after the storm, and little miss Harper is proof of that! Don’t ever give up hope. 🌈💜
