She was born February 16th.
Her daddy delivered her.
We love her very much.
But then Burton got serious as she went on to open up about the couples heartbreaking fertility journey.
It took a long time for Jeffrey and I to have this baby, she wrote.
The first time I got pregnant, it took a year and a half.
I surprised him on Christmas with baby Seahawk booties.
We picked out names.
And we lost that baby.
More losses followed, and as so many couples know, it was heartbreaking.
It still is heartbreaking.
Id weep out of jealousy for how easy it was for them.
Didnt they know something could go wrong?
Didnt they know that there were other women out there struggling?
She goes on to explain that they were cautious with this pregnancy due to their past heartbreak.
I didnt want to celebrate for fear of jinxing it, she added.
I didnt want a baby shower.
I checked her heartbeat every day, up until the day she was born.
And now that she is here, I just stare at her in wonder all day.
I see her in her daddys arms and I dont take any of it for granted.
She screams bloody murder and I smile because she is so wildly alive.
If anything, my wish is that she would restore hope for others.
Fertility is a fickle thing.
Burton and Morgan are also parents to son Gus, who turns 8 this month.
