About

I am a mommy of 2 under 2! It was not planned that way but I would not change a thing!

Becoming a mommy did not come easy, but it also was not as difficult as it has been for many, many women either, so my story is not for comparison but more-so for sharing. Being pregnant for me was no walk in the park. I went through some tough times with both pregnancies, including being put on bed rest, a car accident, getting shingles, fainting during my glucose test and a breech (with an ECV). In the end, I ended up with the two sweetest and brightest rays of sunshine I could have ever hoped for. 

You never know how bad you want something until you lose it. 100% in this case. Having suffered through multiple back-to-back miscarriages, I am grateful to have been fortunate enough to eventually become a mom. At one point, I had to come to terms with the possibility of it not happening for me, or at the least not naturally or biologically. I was prepared to try it all. I was also more than happy to adopt and give all my love to a baby that needed love more than anything. Somehow, eventually, it all came naturally. 

I had my daughter just 2.5 months short of 36 and my son just 2.5 months after turning 37. They are 17 months apart in age, just 5 months short of being Irish twins. Although we are still asked all the time if they are twins. 

So, babies naturally in your mid to late 30's is possible. Here's my story!
