Introduction | I'm an American who lived in London for almost 9 years with my amazing husband. We have had a great life with lots of adventures, love, and fun. In 2010 our lives were shattered when we lost our son at 36 weeks pregnant. After struggling with infertility for many years, we thought we were finally going to have our miracle baby. Sadly, this is not what happened and I struggle every day to make sense of it all. But I am determined to get my life back. Not my old life of course, but a new life,,, a new normal. I have no idea how I am going to find it yet but I just know I will. We decided to try again using an egg donor. In 2011 we got the wonderful news that I was pregnant again. I quickly realized that pregnancy after loss is no walk in the park. But somehow we got through it and were overjoyed when our rainbow baby was born in 2012. Her blog name is "Frostina" and she is the joy in our hearts. Using another egg donor, I gave birth in 2014 to a baby girl who we are calling "Olea" here on the blog. Life with two living children is quite an adjustment. I hope to find the time to document my newest normal here in this space. |
