The birth of my daughter after five years of fighting infertility

This is a year of fighting infertility!

This week I graduated from my IVF clinic at 10 weeks pregnant! I know that it's still early to share, but I want to celebrate making it farther than I ever have against infertility. We're due with our baby girl in May 2024. P.S. it was on Halloween and my doctor and nurse are dressed as the birds and the bees!

Growing Work in Houston

Houston became my home two years ago right before I started as a partner. The region brought in more work to TNTP than other TX cities in 2023!

Hopefully Our Last Intl Trip

Traveling internationally has been the bright spot in my life the past few years through fertility treatments. This March, my husband and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary (15 years together) in Athens and Santorini. Hopefully we are in a new phase of life and can stop spending $ on flight deals.

Liliana started Pre-K 4. She loves going to school! She's there full day now-giving me back a bit of time. I miss hanging out with her, but we manage.

I danced for about 20 years. Seeing her step into this world fills my heart.

My first trip with my husband without the kids

2023-11-16 15:55:25 UTC

We never got a honeymoon or any trips with just the two of us because we had our son and had no money! This year, we were able to take a long weekend trip to Eureka Springs. We stayed at a cool hotel, had good food, and explored the caves.

Leaving Tulsa

This was a bittersweet moment for us. This was our first house. We loved our neighborhood and our house. But we needed to move for more family support and it has been a great change for us.

Our first family event in Springfield

We made it to Springfield and even my teenager was exciting and willing to go hiking and to new events!

So many unexpected circumstances happened this year. Nothing major, but definitely had to make adjustments. I think I am finally reaching a point where I am settling. (also, I feel I say this exact thing every few months. lol!)
