About Me
- Bailey
- Iowa, United States
- Welcome! My husband and I met in college, and we were married in 2008. We began trying to start a family a few months later, only to find out that we were going to have a few challenges along the way. We found out that I have PCOS a few months into trying to conceive. After lots of hormone injections and an IUI we conceived but miscarried just a few weeks later, which lead to an MTHFR diagnosis. We are learning to have patience and trust in God that He has a plan. Our third IUI gave us another pregnancy. We welcomed our beautiful daugther Kinley, in December 2010. After one round of oral infertility meds we conceived our second child in March of 2012, and welcomed Laykin that December. We feel incredibly blessed to be the parents to a beautiful daughter and son.
