Our little #rainbowbaby Mikko John was conceived after two heartbreaking miscarriages last year. #pregnancyafterloss is TOUGH. It is filled with fear and anxiety - but looking back, I know in my heart of hearts that it was all part of God’s plan. The loss of our two little angels in 2019 caused a helplessness and hopelessness that only He could have brought me out of. That grief caused a conversion in my heart and a longing for happiness and peace in Him that might not have ever happened otherwise. I believe my pregnancy with Mikko was a gift and a chance to continue to test and strengthen my faith. After I discovered we were pregnant with him, every trip to the bathroom was filled with fear that I would discover blood - and so I started to pray this prayer @ally.zi showed me every time I started to walk to the bathroom or went to change clothes: “Jesus, I love you. Everything I have is Yours. Do with me whatever you will.” That means that many many MANY times every day, I surrendered my will to God and made the choice over and over again to place my trust in Him, knowing that He is love and that he created me for love. This powerful prayer Changed. My. Life. And I never would have had the humility to pray it if I hadn’t lost my two angels before Mikko. I have profound hope that the conversion of my heart will continue to deepen each day and I have profound hope that every mama out there who is struggling with fertility, loss and fear and anxiety in pregnancy will experience their own conversion and deepening of faith. God loves us - and He MADE US FOR LOVE - and every time I look at this little face and reflect on my journey to motherhood, I know that TRUTH. 🌈💙 👼🏻 #pregnancyandinfantlossawareness #fertilityawareness #godisgood #madeforlove #prolifegeneration https://www.instagram.com/p/CGfwu_zAipL/?igshid=1xzutz3gro83f

Happy Birthday to this amazing Grammy! What a day - traveling 20 hours straight with Karl, my mom (birthday girl), 2 year old and newborn in our Toyota Sienna. But we made it to Missouri and can’t wait to celebrate this lady for real after we all recover! https://www.instagram.com/p/CGGy8TegYLv/?igshid=2ytjgl2meqhs

A little hike to Lampson Falls this week 🍁 https://www.instagram.com/p/CF-62aOAo6F/?igshid=abx2z51t0n54

So grateful to be a #boymom to these two beautiful, funny and sweet little guys. And what better way to introduce you to the newest one, Mikko John, born 7/18/20, than on #nationalsonsday. Pekka is anxious for Mikko to get bigger so they can play together “better” - but he is a sweet big brother, nonetheless. https://www.instagram.com/p/CFqkvlig1JX/?igshid=43aioumd7rzx

Finally recovering from the excellent Spring Soiree of @afarcrymusic Friday night.

And this didn’t even include the morning time quarantine haircuts and finishing painting our guest room!! #quarantinelife #musicianlife #thedotys https://www.instagram.com/p/CA3YkZdgBKu/?igshid=1a4yz5ltxkk63

HAPPY EASTER!!! The Easter Bunny brought Pekka his very own Bambi... (aka Prince of the fowest) and I’m pretty sure it’s Pekka’s new best friend. https://www.instagram.com/p/B-4xh76gsz2/?igshid=1gz5wy5b18xb
