JANUARY 2ND, 2025 - HAPPY 17TH BIRTHDAY!!!

17 years ago at this moment (11 pm cst on Jan 1st, 2008), my life changed in the most incredible way - I went into labor with Triplets! 

I still pinch myself thinking about that surreal moment. Little did I know, wanting to be a surrogate for twins would turn into a triplet adventure! 


My pregnancy with the triplets was a breeze... until the heartburn kicked in!  That burning sensation was the worst part of my 33.5-week journey and happy to say that I have never had heartburn again!


Watching the Triplets grow up through social media and visits has been an absolute joy. Their Dads, family, and friends have created such a loving environment that's allowed them to thrive. I'm touched that they have agreed to share some personal stuff with me for my blog, and I look forward to sharing them with you on this special day.
