I wrote something last year that I felt the need to share again. I know that this year has been a horrible year for a lot of people. Lots of loss - not just the losses of jobs and businesses, but if friends, family members, loved ones. Click the link in my bio to find my latest blog posts “Beauty for Ashes” and “Surviving the Holidays When You’ve Lost Someone.” I hope you enjoy reading as much as I’ve enjoyed writing. And I hope you find encouragement from both pieces during this hard time. (Click link in my bio)

In the midst of this pandemic, uncertainty, and ti

In the midst of this pandemic, uncertainty, and time of panic, I’m back to finally share some good news that we’ve been holding for almost #9months now... We are expecting a baby boy 💙 in October!
.
.
After all of the losses we had last year, we decided to wait to share our news when we felt the time was right.
.
.
As many of you know, we’ve taken some time off from running Social League, inc as this year has been full of surprises, but not necessarily in a good way. I decided to take time off to focus on my family and growing this baby. As much as we loved doing giveaways for you all, they were a major stress or mentally, physically, and emotionally for me, which is not good during pregnancy.
.
.
I hope that sometime in the future we can offer them again, but for now as I mentioned before, I need to focus on our growing family.
.
.
Thank you all for your love and support throughout last year. The outpouring support after sharing my story was heartwarming and very much needed.

At the Hilton at #virginiabeach for my birthday. I usually just spend my birthday with the fam. But I figured me and hubby deserved a break from “the norm” all things considered so we came to Virginia 🏖 Feeling very confident about things to come in 2020. I’m so excited y’all. Glad too just to be leaving 2019 behind. And yes, I’m still on that old iPhone status 😢😂

When I was at my happiest... I was 13 weeks pregna

When I was at my happiest... I was 13 weeks pregnant with baby girl and we were celebrating our 2nd year anniversary. Enjoying every second of it knowing that it would probably be one of our last vacations together as just me and him. We were expecting our little girl Aaliyah on my birthday on December 23rd. Every single day I thanked God for her... for being so gracious to us, especially after the loss of our first baby in February.
⠀
Though she is with her Heavenly Father now, we still thank Him. We thank Him for giving us the strength to keep moving forward, and we thank Him for his promises. We know we will have children one day. And I am exceedingly grateful for my husband who has powered along with me through this journey. He’s been more than a rock for me. I can’t imagine doing this thing called “life” with anyone else
⠀
I appreciate every single person who reached out to me after my last post. Opening up about loss is the 2nd hardest thing I’ve done, after losing her. I’ve been overwhelmed by the amount of support I’ve received. Many have DMed about their experiences with miscarriage, and while I couldn’t get to each and every message, just know that I see you, I hear you, and I am you. You are in my thoughts and prayers each day. Every time I hear a story about someone who’s lost a baby, my heart shatters. This is a pain I wouldn’t wish on anyone. Just know that I am here for you and I am thinking of you.
⠀
Please continue reaching out 💖

I have to share something.... but sadly, it’s not a happy “something.”
⠀
I’ve been debating for a long time, when and if I wanted to open up to my world about this. I’m not going to sugar coat it. I’m talking about loss. Not talking about just any loss (not disrespecting any type of loss), but I’m talking about miscarriage and stillbirth, the losses of your very own children.
⠀
We’ve unfortunately gone through the loss of 2 babies since February 2019.
⠀
I was about 3.5 months pregnant in this picture.
⠀
I’ve been very quiet for months, but it’s time for me to open up about this. The story is too long to share directly on Instagram so please, click the link in my bio to read my story.
