☀️Hello World! Rae graced us with her presence 3 days after her due date!

The whole experience was euphoric and SO FAST (left for the hospital at 1am and the baby was in my arms by 2am 😬) but I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect way to bring her into this world.

I’ll share more details later but it wouldn’t have been possible without my amazing birth team:
my anchor
my doula
my midwife Lisa
& my mom staying at home with Zoey

What started off as low grade fevers and a dry cough quickly unraveled to be Stage IV non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Young A is one of the kindest souls, hairdresser, wife to my cousin and mom to 3 beautiful children. Asking for your prayers as she is currently in the ICU after her 5th round of chemo. Thank you to all of who have already been praying, donated & offered food runs. You are living proof that there is good in this world ❤️🙏🏼

In 3 years we’ve moved 3x, bought our first 🏡, traveled the old 🌍, and created a new life together 👨‍👩‍👧. We’ve also learned the most annoying and ugly parts about each other and pushed each other to the limits. Through it all, thank you for being patient even when I make the same mistakes again and again, for always keeping things fresh & fun, and for always putting family first. Happy Anniversary ! I couldn’t ask for more, this adventure with you has been the best yet! 📸:
