After 10 years of marriage, we received our most precious gift, our baby girl, Stella. It was no easy feat getting her here and it took a lot of faith, hope, strength, and love to overcome all the uncertainty that comes along with IVF.

When we got married, we decided to wait a few years before having children. The thought never crossed our minds that we may encounter obstacles with growing our family when the time came. We initially were so devastated to learn that we may never conceive. After many trips to the fertility clinic, shots, blood draws, tears, and prayers, a tiny speck with a heartbeat appeared on the doctor’s monitor. Our hopes and dreams had finally come true.

She made her grand entrance into the world after 36 hours of labor and an emergency C-section for mommy. She has made me stronger and braver than I have ever thought possible. She reminds my husband and I that anything is possible even in the face of adversity. She is our miracle baby and the love I have for her is indescribable. Thank you, Stella Joon, for changing our lives in all the best ways possible. You will forever be the greatest love of my life.

My “push” present from my wonderful husband was my Tiny Tags necklace. I absolutely adore my necklace and wear it with love and pride everyday. A circle pendant C+S for my husband because a circle never ends (signifying our love). A heart pendant for Stella because she truly is my heart, my love.
