Whew.. we announced our baby birth and you guys haven’t really saw much of her since. Honestly, this journey has been the most challenging one of all because there were so many things happening all at once. 

We felt torn when we had to leave our kids in Atlanta, we felt defeated when we had to leave our newborn in the nicu across the country. We opened a new business and had to leave it in our employees hands a month after we opened. We didn’t know if she’d survive or if she’d have any major health issues if she did survive. It seemed like nothing we did was enough in so many areas of life. We can’t even begin to tell you how many tears we shed while keeping a smile on our face throughout this entire process… it emotionally depleted us. 

But through it all, we saw her through it and got her home safely. We don’t share every single detail with you guys because it’s not your burden to carry, but some of you will never know or understand what it’s like to walk in our shoes. To still be expected to show up for work, hit goals, and come through for everyone else while not expecting nor asking a thing in return. So when people say we are undeserving of parenthood and how we are “ruining” our children… F*** you! And we say that with our entire chest! Our children are the greatest blessing we’ve ever received and to know all of what we went through to get them here and to give them the love and life they have.. it’s almost appalling for people to even question us as parents. 

Now, I think we’ve fully processed our emotions and feelings and have soaked it all in. We’re in a much better state of mind as it pertains to Aspen’s journey and we’re ready to bring you in. 

Are you ready? 👀
