About Me

I’m the mama of an amazing little boy who just so happens to also be a perinatal stroke survivor. Our son, Alex, was born after years of struggling with infertility. He is my “why” and pushed me to create this blog and share our journey with the world so no mother would ever feel alone or lose hope again. He is the inspiration for this blog and our beautiful hope. I hope you find resources here that are helpful, a shoulder to comfort you during hard times, and encouragement to help keep you going.
