Baby in arms. That’s what our fertility doctor would say to remind us of our goal as we met with their amazing team over the last four years (after a year of trying on our own to get pregnant). While more people are sharing their fertility journey now, in the past it’s been a very taboo topic. My mother often told me growing up (and I swear it wasn’t a scare tactic), “we’re very fertile, Amanda!” So, honestly it never once crossed my mind that my fertility journey would be…

Baby Shower Decor Ideas
After years of trying for a baby and finally getting pregnant, I’ve been extremely excited to have a baby shower. Many of my close friends moved away the past few years. So, it’s the perfect time to reunite our friends, family and some of my mom’s best friends to celebrate Baby Champion. Baby showers are a longstanding tradition.

But, after a little back and forth Matt and I quickly settled on stars and moon nursery decor. The nursery is a work in progress. But, everything we’re planning to purchase is linked…

I started to draft a version of this post five years ago. So, it’s a bit surreal to be able to put the words “we’re pregnant” down on paper. Or, to even say them out loud for that matter. There was a time I just didn’t think it would happen. But, after a long journey of battling infertility, we are on our way to becoming mom and dad! I’m so excited to announce that Baby Champion will be joining us in November 2022! I’m grinning ear to ear as I…
