{still standing} dream come true
I have been wanting & hoping & wishing & praying to write a post like this for what seems like forever . . .
I am so happy & excited to announce my husband & I are expecting a baby boy in July! Words cannot even describe how over the moon we are about Baby Boy Koru. It's a dream come true, & I count my lucky stars every day.
As most of you know, my journey towards parenthood has been long, winding & trying. I last spoke of this journey about one year ago & I've been pretty mum since. My silence wasn't because there was nothing to say. Quite the contrary! There was so much to say I could hardly put my experiences into a coherent post. I hope to write about it someday, to remember the journey & to help others who may be experiencing something similar. For now, all I can say is every step, every stumble & every fall was worth it.
It's not lost on me that this particular adventure is just beginning. I won't breathe easy until Baby Boy Koru is safe, happy & healthy in my arms. But my worries are merely a footnote in this journey. I am truly enjoying every moment of my pregnancy, basking in its glory & wonder.
What does this mean for Koru Wedding? In a complete leap of faith last summer, I decided not to accept any 2014 weddings. It didn't seem fair to compromise the time, attention & passion I devote to Koru clients & weddings because I was either hugely pregnant or juggling a newborn. Thankfully, my decision was the right one since Baby Boy Koru will be here soon! I will consider 2015 weddings on a case-by-case basis & I hope to be fully back in the wedding game by 2016.
As for Koru Wedding Style, I will do my best. I'm sure most of you have noticed I have had trouble blogging & visiting other blogs regularly since the summer. Now you know I had good reason! From here on out, I will blog when inspiration strikes. Hopefully, that will be fairly often! No promises.
Koru Wedding is based upon the inspiration & celebration of new beginnings. To me, that's always meant weddings. Now I've expanded my horizons to realize Baby Boy Koru is a new beginning for my family, one that deserves my complete & full attention. & so it goes!
Thank you for sharing in my exciting news!

{Guest Posting} Hope Over Heartache
Last week while I was in Key West for a destination wedding, something pretty big happened. My guest post, Hope Over Heartache, was published in Still Standing Magazine. I am beyond honored. Almost one year ago, Still Standing encouraged women like me to share their stories. I somehow found the courage to write & share my story of life after miscarriage. From my first story & my following stories, I received tremendous support from family, friends, acquaintances, readers & strangers. It was simply amazing. Now that exact story appears on Still Standing Magazine & if it brings just one reader a little peace & comfort, then I have given something back.
In related news, National Infertility Awareness Week is taking place right now. Its mission is to help change the conversation about infertility, bring infertility support groups to every community and increase access to all family building options. If you or someone you know suffers from infertility, I encourage you to share National Infertility Awareness Week & Still Standing Magazine with them. & give them a BIG hug!
If you would like to read my story of life after a miscarriage, please visit Hope Over Heartache in Still Standing Magazine. Thank you so much from the very bottom of my heart!
