community is something I realized I needed more than ever when I became a mom. I tried for 2 1/2 years to get pregnant and had 7 miscarriages. Once I became pregnant again, I started to do everything possible to keep the baby. I did lovenox blood thinner injections once a day for my entire pregnancy. My miracle and rainbow baby was born in September 2024. She is almost 2 and I’m feel extra blessed. We love hiking, she loves her water activities and I love to my side job as a successful photographer. My gratitude grows immensely every single day. Even though it’s been hard and I feel like I definitely didn’t escape the PPD rut, I am feeling more like myself now more than ever. Family is everything. Truly is. I want to someday in the near future, travel and explore new places with my kids. I’m so ready to experience life to its fullest with my babies and hubby.
Thank you for sharing your heartfelt journey with us. After everything you endured to welcome your rainbow baby, your little miracle is truly something to celebrate. The strength, love, and determination you carried throughout your pregnancy are incredibly inspiring.
We’re so glad you found the community when you needed it most. Motherhood can be beautiful and challenging at the same time, and it’s wonderful to hear that you’re gradually feeling more like yourself again. Wishing you, your family, and your little one many joyful hikes, water adventures, photography moments, and unforgettable travels together!
It’s so good to hear that you are able to do what you like.

Welcome to the community Rachel! Sending you so much love. Your sweet September 2024 baby is such a precious gift after everything you went through to get her here. You are doing a wonderful job, and I’m so happy you found a place to connect! 
Awww I’m so happy you got your and so baby. I had miscarriages and a long journey too. Pregnancy after loss is something that is so hard to explain- a unique and hard trauma. I look forward to growing with you.
I’m so sorry about your losses, but so happy that you got your little miracle baby! I had 7 years ttc and never thought I’d have a baby, and got my little miracle about 2 years ago. That’s so cool you’re able to do your photography!
