Today is National Rainbow Baby Day so I wanted to tell my story. Christmas of 2017, my husband and I were in a hospital being told the happiest and most heart breaking news of our lives. We were finally pregnant after a year of trying...and it was an ectopic pregnancy that had ruptured my left Fallopian tube and had me bleeding into my abdomen. I remember crying non stop, Shawn being extra strong for me and drifting off to wake up feeling empty. I cried for over 24 hours, my face burned and my heart hurt and I felt like we had lost the most precious thing. I didn’t know how to move on. I would hold my stomach and cry. April of 2018 I found out we were pregnant with Zhuri. I cried and cried and the whole time I was mentally preparing for the worst. I never truly connected to her. Fast forward to the day I gave birth. I was so nervous. I listened to her heart beat over and over. I couldn’t even dose off. When it was time to push her out I said a little prayer and in one push there she was and all of the love that I was holding back came flooding out with tears and a scream of happiness because I couldn’t believe that she made it here with me. I love her so dearly. I’m still connected to the baby we lost, Christmas felt weird holding her under our Christmas tree, remembering what happened the year before, but Zhuri gave me the greatest gift. She truly is the rainbow after our storm. And she is so loved. ❤️ #nationalrainbowbabyday https://www.instagram.com/p/B1e0HAilLj9/?igshid=1k48uk1idhv74

What is Love? I can’t tell you how many times I pondered over this, cried for it, felt like I lost it. But this picture contains the love of a lifetime. The love that changed my life, makes me laugh constantly and the love that is a blessing. I can never describe my love for them and they will never how how deeply I feel their love in my soul. Love is an everyday thing. ❤️ #ValentinesDay #Mom #momofgirls #momofthree #mybabies #mygirls #blackgirlmagic #blackmom #blackmomblogger #blackmombloggers #blackmomblog #veganmom #vegan #love https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt4aAJwlk43/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cic48qxsi0yr

I spend a lot of time like this. Feeding her while I feed myself, while studying for Tech Sergeant, while peering over at Lizzy’s math homework and listening to Kylah give me the daycare gossip. Is it always easy? Hell no! I cry and sometimes lay on my bed staring at the ceiling wonder what I have to do for an extra hour in the day. Nevertheless...I get it all done. As mothers it’s sometimes hard to find balance and you’re pulled in so many directions but you’re doing amazing. You’re trying you’re hardest and at the end of the day, that’s really all you can do. ❤️ How are you multitasking this week? 📸: Lizzy #momofthree #girlmom #momblogger #mombloggers #blackmomsblog #blackgirlmagic #busymomlife #momlife #thestruggleisreal #momstrong #newnormal #balance #veganmom #happykids #worklifebalance https://www.instagram.com/p/BtOd9xih5v4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9gslb8qjlww0

I would be remised if I didn’t shoutout my amazing husband. Our daughter was born yesterday and she is more than enough to be thankful for but I have to give thanks to my husband. Not only has he been a phenomenal support system throughout this entire time but he was so supportive when I was in labor. He made me smile and laugh, he held my hands and told me I was doing good and it was almost over. Shawn you are my blessing. I feel more and more connected to you dialybbhr after yesterday that connection has deepened and grown. Thank you for being such an amazing husband and father. Me and the girls are so lucky to have you my love. #Thankful #Blessed #AmazingHusband #AmazingFather #AmazingPartner #ZhurisDaddy https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqe3tcBlsJM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=quikw7h1iayb

3 reasons to be happy every single day. From my oldest who I literally grew up with and who has the calm and kind temperament of a poised big sister all the while still keeping her head in the clouds and remaining a sweet child, to my middle who is literally an untouchable ball of fire with a big mouth and a huge capacity to love and read you for filth. I can’t help but wonder who ZJ will be...what will she bring to our balanced bonds, what will she bring to the sister dynamic and how will she challenge me to love times 3? So many questions and only 12 weeks left. ZJ, we are ready for you my love. #thismama #realmomlife #momlife #3kids #3daughters #lovesofmylife #consciousparenting #veganpregnancy #veganmom #selfreflection https://www.instagram.com/p/BnL6eWSnFxy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vv0amevlsoxw

These vegan chilaquiles with green chile were sooooo damn good. @chicagodiner was amazing. And their vegan milk shakes are PHENOMENAL. So glad I went before I left Chicago. #Vegan #veganmom #veganfoodporn #veganfood #veganfoodshare #veganfriendly #vegansofig #food #foodporn #delicious #plantbased #plantbasedlifestyle #foodie #lunch #crueltyfree #fortheanimals #fortheplanet #freshfood #veggies #cleaneating #whatveganseat #blackvegan (at The Chicago Diner)
