It's July 4, 2016 and I'm hosting our Annual Fourth of July Holiday escape at my Happy Place (our home - Hyannis, Cape Cod).

I remember opening the screen door, walking onto my porch, and being embraced by the perfectly warm sun, smelling the ocean air, and hearing the voices of so many loved ones. I had a feeling of gratitude crash over me like a wave. This was the first time, I was STOPPED in my tracks positively overwhelmed with my blessings. Almost simultaneously, I thought about the one part of my life I've been "back-burning" for the last couple years - having my own children. Like an out of body experience, I saw myself in that moment on my porch, looking at everything Nic and I had built: most noticeably, our beautiful "village," splayed all across the front steps and yard.

See, we always knew we would have children but there were so many ducks we wanted perfectly aligned beforehand. They say there's never a perfect time. And I'll never be perfect. So I decided, right there and then, "I'M ENOUGH. I can and I will grow my family now."

Moments later, phone in hand, I walked over to the hammock Nic was lying on, asked him to scoot, laid next to him and said, "I'm Ready. Let's grow our family." He smiled, we kissed and I began recording an impromptu video dedicated to our children. Since then, I've recorded over 50 videos specifically dedicated to our (unborn) children, capturing our lives before them.
