This Mother’s Day Hits Different 🤍
This Mother’s Day is completely different from the previous two years. Two years in a row, I didn’t get to bring home my babies. Now this year, I am staring into the eyes of my baby girl, and I can’t be more grateful.
If it wasn’t for God, my supportive husband, and my Dr. Haney TAC, my daughter wouldn’t be sitting in my arms right now. You can watch my TAC surgery here.

Hearing “Happy Mother’s Day” actually gives me a warm, fuzzy sensation now. Before this, I felt empty inside. I am grateful for my experiences leading up to this day. My journey to parenthood was not easy.
Although my husband and I were faced with adversity, I never gave up on my dreams of becoming a mother. The funny thing is, when I was younger, I always said I wanted a baby girl first. I imagined her being super intelligent—a fast learner who would teach her younger brothers everything she knew.

My baby girl, Marae, is everything I imagined and more. She stole our hearts the minute she entered this world. We can’t stop looking at her gorgeous grey eyes. Sweet baby Marae can truly light up a room and change the entire mood.
It’s a bittersweet moment every time I think about her brothers in heaven, but I know our sons are protecting us and watching over us from above. Hubby and I often think about what our boys would’ve been like—who they would’ve looked like and what their personalities would’ve been.

Just know that I am a testament. Our divine interruptions set me up to be a great mother to Marae—and to our future children. Yes, I do plan on having more kids. At least three.

I am just so thankful. God is good.
There’s only one thing I want for Mother’s Day. I pray that somewhere out in this world, an angel mama finds my blog and my story—and gains the courage to never give up on her dream of becoming a mother.
Cheers to not leaving the hospital empty-handed this time.
I am so thankful my mom was able to be there and support me during my birth. She is truly the best mother anyone could have. No CAP.
Happy Mother’s Day!!!
With love,
Marae’s Mom 🐝🤍
