Home Renovations and navigating a Surprise Pregnancy

I'm so glad you're here because I have some big news to share. This year has been full of unexpected twists, and what started as a plan to renovate our home turned into something much bigger — I’m pregnant! 🍼✨

This surprise pregnancy has been a complete shock, especially after our experiences with fertility treatments. We never imagined conceiving naturally, yet here we are, navigating a journey we hadn’t planned for but are so grateful to embrace.

Please be kind and respectful in your comments, as this is a tender and vulnerable time for us. I’m grateful for your support and excited to share this part of our story with you.

OUR STILLBIRTH JOURNEY - SAYING GOODBYE, AUTOSPY RESULTS, AND EARLY GRIEF

In this second part, I open up about the journey after returning home without Elliot. I share the painful experience of planning his funeral, facing early grief, and receiving his autopsy results. I also touch on the unique challenges of postpartum after loss and how my husband and I grieved differently. As I tell the story of Elliot’s memorial service and burial, I reflect on the bittersweet beauty of saying goodbye and the ongoing impact his short life has had on our family and friends. This episode gives an honest look at the mourning process, the difficulty of handling well-meaning but hurtful condolences, and the peace we eventually found in honoring our son.

In this heartfelt episode, I share the story of my son Elliot, who was stillborn at 36 weeks. From the joy of pregnancy to the devastating reality of losing him just weeks before his due date, I reflect on the profound love and grief that have shaped our journey. This is the first part of Elliot’s story, where I recount his pregnancy, the day of his birth, and the cherished moments we had with him. Whether you’ve experienced baby loss or are supporting someone through it, this episode offers a raw and emotional look at life, loss, and healing.
