Hi Alex! My really good friends husband had the surgery...they still had ivf just due to timing for their first child but then 7 months after their 2nd baby was concieved naturally! It is possible! 😃

I found your channel over four years ago. I started watching after my husband and I had tried for several months to conceive. We were quickly approaching 9 months with negative tests each month. I found your channel and you gave me so much hope. We ended up conceiving our daughter and have not had to walk down the road of infertility. Thank you for sharing your story and life with us. You matter. Your family matters. We appreciate you!

Alex I just wanted to share thank you for sharing your life and family. I found you after my daughter had a breath holding spell that caused her to have a seizure and be hospitalized. I saw your video about breath holding spells about 3.5 years ago and was so grateful for your tips, they helped my family so much! I have loved everything you have posted and appreciate you educating me on so many things. Thank you!

Orange juice! Anybody that is happy for someone who struggles with infertility and miscarries or just miscarries in general is just sick Alex. I couldn’t imagine being in the eye of the public dealing with life and receiving comments that are hurtful. I’m sorry that people are hateful♥️Wishing you love, strength, healing and comfort xo thank you for this video that you owed to nobody. You guys really are the best!!! **Block and delete, block and delete, make this place a no tolerance zone.

Don’t apologize for being more reserved within your journey. Your journey is just that, YOURS! You do as you all see fit and we are here to love you all either way ❤️

Don’t let the miserable negative people get you down! Your honesty and rawness is exactly the reason I followed you! You guys are one of my top favorites because your not fake and you don’t just show a highlight reel! Because your so raw you touch so many more hearts and encourage so many more people!

My daughter have been on her IVF journey for five years. I have been watching you since Kensley came to you. I learned so much. You helped me understand a bit about the feeling that empty arms gives you. I was able to help my daughter through the difficult and heartbreaking times. We never gave up and we are so grateful for your help and encouragement that your channel gave us. My daughter is due to give birth to her daughter any day now. We know how blessed we are but that doesn’t mean that she’s shouldn’t strive for more children. Please keep doing what you are an advocate for. We love you and your beautiful family. 🥰

Congratulations.. my daughter is still trying after 9 years, her husband just had the surgery Phillip had a few months ago and due for his check-up but she's having complications and is devastated. My heart breaks not being able to help move and she's hours away. 💔 I'm sure by now you have a happy healthy little baby girl by now and there's nothing more exciting than seeing your children happy. I'm so happy for all of you!! Congrats again and God bless.

Success story! I had a friend who’s husband had this same surgery and they have had 2 babies since and are pregnant with another right now! They got pregnant within a year after the surgery. Thank you Alex for sharing! I had no idea people were being that cruel. I respect whatever you chose to share. I love hearing your story so I can hold hope for you, pray for you, celebrate along side of you and cry with you but ultimately your heart matters more and should feel safe first.

I, myself, have not had to go through infertility but have followed you since your second adoption and always come away from each video with hope, knowledge or just encouragement. It has been such a joy watching the girls grow and blossom because of the amazing parents they are so lucky to have. I cannot wait to see where your journey leads. Whether it’s growing your human family or your animal family. I am here for it. Thank you for continuing to share with us. You’ll never know how much you mean to so many.

Thanks for opening up to us and speaking so honestly! I totally understand anybody who wants to grow a family! Every life is a miracle!

Thank you for updating us on Phil’s surgery. It sounds very hopeful to me. 💖

OJ! Alex, I love your vlogs and enjoy everything you share about your family's journey. I've never had children, am now a widow and trying to adjust to a single life. Watching a family like yours is so uplifting. Wish you all the best in the future and I'll also apologize for the rude people.

I have been watching you for years. I am a Grandma of 13 and have laughed, cried, been sad, anxious, scared, grieved, with your family. Please know that you are loved and appreciated. Thank you for being a part of my life. I love every video.

Alex, no apologies needed! I wish you were around when I was going through my fertility journey. So much shame and secrecy was endured. It’s something we suffered through in silence. Thank you for helping to lift that veil. Your encouragement and sharing has helped thousands. Even though many years have passed since I went through the pain of not being able to conceive, I feel like I’m right along side of your cheering you and Philip on. I have nothing but gratitude for you. Thank you. Here’s to hoping you have as many children as you wish. Anyone who wishes ill, pity on them. Any child who is fortunate to be raised by parents like the 2 of you are truly blessed. Love to you and your beautiful family.

I’ve been following you since your adoption with Callie and you have helped me through my own infertility journey. I miss your old videos but completely get that social media has changed so much since then ❤️

This is your family's journey. You share it how and when you choose to. No one else should criticize you for that. Thank you for sharing - I know you are giving strength and courage to so many people.

I have been following your fertility journey from very early on. Thank you for sharing an update. There are many more people who care about you and your family than not.

Ive been with you through most of this journey, and I continue to be so excited and hopeful for you 💕 cheers to this next chapter, and whatever it brings

I found your channel when my best friend found out about her infertility. I keep watching because I love your family and the homestead vlogs really interests me. I will never understand how people feel like it’s ok to say any of the negative comments you have mentioned to ANYONE! I really wish those people would leave. Most of us totally understand your hesitance given the private nature of all of this.

Alex and Phil, you're truly fighters.💪Getting knocked around in the court of public opinion is not for the weak. You always show up and get back in the ring to champion for hope and encouragement. Taking one for the team isn't always easy, but we appreciate it and it matters.✨️💕

I'm so very grateful for your channel. Your videos were an encouragement to me when I was trying to grapple with just coming to grips with having had four miscarriages. I've since had my miracle baby. Now your videos help me better know how to support two close friends dealing with infertility. Keep doing what you're doing.

So excited for you guys! We struggled, 40 years ago with infertility. We had losses and adoption loss and 3 babies in heaven...but we are thankful and blessed with 9 kids...it wasn't easy...I watch you because I have been there. I love the grace you show and I'm so sorry that people are mean. I am offering my services to you, to filter the negative comments. You don't need those! I love the ministry that you are doing....you are real and no need to apologize. Please contact me if you would like me to connect and filter comments....blessings!

I’ve watched you from the beginning and love y’all so much. Thank you for being so vulnerable and you guys inspired me and my family to start a little farm. I pray for y’all every day

I started following you guys when Cassidy was getting ready for her surgery. I had just had my little boy diagnosed with hydronephrosis. It was so good to walk through a journey with you. Thank you. He got a surgery and is doing well.

Orange Juice, A lot of people are deeply troubled, please remember that the viewers supporting you are sometimes vocal but most of us are silent. I have watched for almost 5 years, when I found out I was pregnant from my second IVF I remember telling my husband about your family and crying, not understanding why my IVF was successful and not yours, you both are such great people. (I believe this is my first ever comment) Thank you for being there for me through my infertility journey

I live in middle Tennessee and would be thrilled to meet you in person someday...God bless you and your family❤️💕

Alex, I have shared your story to my clients (I’m a therapist), who are going through suffering, pain, and the unknown. Your videos help me to help them !

☕️ I enjoyed the real-ness and rawness of this video. I am not personally struggling in this area, but have prayed for you guys during your journey and have enjoyed following along and learning too. Love from NY!

His results sound incredible based on his past analysis!! Praying the motility increases with time, but definitely a big step in a good direction! 🙏

☕️ What an amazing person your are Alex! People need to hear your story. I have never struggled with infertility but because of your family I have learned so much. I have a better understanding of how to be supportive and encouraging to those I know who do struggle with this. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

I had 4 kids, 2 of the pregnancies ended at 32 weeks. I was devastated and could not understand why my body betrayed me. My last pregnancy I was able to go to term because of a compound shot. I still went into labor at 33 weeks though. I can not put into word what it was like to be able to hold a full term baby, my husband and I needed it. That is my story. I wish you so much luck 💜

I started watching y'all four years ago when I was researching how to do the PIO shots for our IVF cycle. I prayed for you the whole way through Cassidy's pregnancy and birth. Still praying for y'all! We chose ivf when they labeled my husband's vasectomy reversal a total failure. Not enough count and surely not enough motility for an iui. Less than 2mil per ml and less than 1% motility. We had a daughter through ivf and then when she was 13 months, got the shock of our lives with our son. I think those numbers at 3 months are so encouraging! It only takes one to make it in the end. Still praying for yall!

Orange juice! Your story has and continues to drive my husband and I forward. The negative comments are tough. I find personally, they sometimes reenforce my own negative thoughts too so the hit hard and deep! Your honesty and love towards each other, your family and all of your followers is beautiful. Thank you for reaching out and starting this channel ❤️

OJ - I am happy there was improvement. I am sorry that you get anything other than love and support. You are vulnerable and open and have made such a difference in my life. Thank you love to you and your family.

Orange Juice, just finished the whole video 🍊 ❤️ My husband and I are going through our infertility journey as well. I know exactly how you feel when it comes to wanting to just shut down, because of the reactions and comments that you get. We have one miracle son that we conceived after 7 years. He will be 5 in march, and I just suffered my third miscarriage on Easter of this year. 😭 We hope and pray to be able to make him a big brother one day! Praying for you and your family. 🙏🥰

Alex, I'm so sorry that people are so rude. Praying that all works out for you and Phillip and that a baby is in your future. We know you love your precious girls but many people long for larger families. Thank you for sharing your lives with us.

Thank you so much for sharing! I started following you years ago when I learned we would later do IVF... you were one of the first sources of information I found. Your journey helped me go through 2 egg retrievals, tons of injections, transfers, a miscarriage and an ectopic pregnancy. Yesterday we found out our 3rd transfer worked but we also found out it's probably another ectopic pregnancy; your video, generosity in sharing, kindness and honesty is recomforting today... so thank you

Def interested in the natural fertility info! We’re in the middle of it and trying everything we can esp if meds can be left out. Also right there with you about those who feel like they need to tell us how to feel. No one knows unless they’ve gone through it. Thank you for sharing everything that you do, it has truly helped us and a few couple friends through some of our darkest times with infertility.

I honestly never ever comment on any post on KZread, but I just have to comment on this one. I just saw your channel for the first time, and I want to tell you that YOUR FAMILY IS SO AMAZING ALEX! Thank you so much for being vulnerable and honest and detailed. God knows I needed this information and I am going to be watching it with my husband also to encourage him. Thank you thank you! Only if you know how your videos just made me feel, especially how detailed you are. My husband is also going through varicocele but only on the left side, we just found out and we’re still figuring out what to do! Thanks again for this.

I love seeing the heart to heart with you Alex. You are such a bright light on this space. I’m grateful you’re here. You and your family are always in my prayers. ❤️ I love how informed and actively you pursue this journey.

Orange juice! I’ll be praying for you on growing your family and growing your farm animals! Stay positive and don’t listen to those people that just love to be rude and hurt people and assume they know everything about you and your family(from 20 min vlogs every week)! Don’t give them the satisfaction- it’s your family and you can have as many kiddos as you guys want!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thanks so much for sharing your lives and struggles with us!! You have helped me (and my husband) through the long, lonely journey of infertility. We haven’t been blessed with children and don’t know if God will answer our many prayers for them. I connected with your channel several years ago and instantly felt comforted just knowing I wasn’t the only one going through this. In regards to the mean comments that are thrown at you, know that hurting people hurt people. I hope you know you have so many more people who love your family and want the best for you! Blessings. 💙

As soon as I saw you pick up the orange juice 🍊I knew I needed to pop into the comments and say hi. I’ve been watching your family’s videos for a handful of years now and not yet to the stage of having kids if we choose to try for them, but I am so encouraged by y’all’s lovely spirits. I watch your videos because of the wonderful people you are, your kindness radiates and I am hoping for the best for your family. ❤️

Alex you and Phillip taught me everything I know about IVF and now I’m 6 weeks pregnant with our miracle ivf baby. I pray for you often! I respect your boundaries, but I say from the bottom of my heart, please do not stop sharing your journey. You have no idea how much you have helped me and how much I consider you a friend.

Vitamin b12deficiency is often a problem in miscarriages. BOOK, COULD IT BE B12..? By Sally Pacholok. Her videos are on utube. Highly recommended.

We had the surgery almost 50 years ago. The surgeon was the original inventor of the procedure and theres a book about it. In any case, his numbers were not perfect at all but we had two sons 22 months apart, the younger one was conceived after waiting nine months after the birth of my first son with just one try.

I’ve been following you for such a long time and it makes me feel so sad that those concerns are even more here. I think that you do such a great job and you help so many people that I say go for it now ❤

Alex, I loved this video. Your so special and your vulnerability is so genuine. Having met you, I know you are truly exactly who you seem to be and I love that! I know your heartfelt in saying how thankful you are for your girls. There is nothing wrong with wanting to grow your family. I am so sorry people have been ugly to you but know that your words and your sharing is helping someone out there! Keep being you and do what feels right for you and your family- no matter what anyone else says! Hugs from your Knoxville friend!!! (Orange juice…lol)

Please update us with his next results!! I think that’s amazing how it already improved in such a little bit of time. I have a good feeling as the time goes on the better his numbers will get

Alex, you are such an incredible speaker and teacher. I appreciate your sit down videos where you explain in such excellent detail. You have such a gift. Your family is such a treasure. Praying for your journey!!!

Thank you thank you thank you and God bless you. Yessss, conference please 😘.

I have very much missed hearing you talk about your infertility journey. I do enjoy your videos without it but this topic had always been close to my heart. I have a 15 month old daughter now through IVF but I still feel like I am a part of the club…you don’t shake the infertility journey even after having babies! Good luck to you and Phil at 4.5 months and no apologies necessary for avoiding the negativity. Sending love! ☕️

Alex I love you, and I'm so sorry you got hateful comments. I love being a little part of your family, it uplifts my heart so much. I miss when you used to post more but I also understand....life... Trolls everywhere on the internet. That's why I couldn't vlog, I wouldn't be able to handle hatefulness. Thank you for sharing your journey. Yes the numbers arent exactly what you were hoping for but the numbers improved and that's a huge deal!! Take the win for now!!! Rejoice and dance and enjoy the progress. Then find the next goal. I'm praying for you, and love all of you. Please keep the vlogs going! ❤️

Orange Juice! Thank you so much for sharing your story and your family with all of us. I watch because my daughter is 38 and has had fertility issues for some time now. I let her know ideas she might try. God bless you all and don’t let anyone get you down.

Orange juice 🧡 I love you guys. You have been such a blessing and inspiration to me. My ex husband and I had 4 kiddos without any fertility issues other than one miscarriage. Then my fiancé and I had four losses (2 with DD) before we had Phillip. He and Cassidy actual share a birthday. Phillip was born at 730 pm on may 31, 2020. We have since had 4 more losses. Two more with a DD. Thank you for sharing with all of us on here and letting us be part of your journey. 🙏🏻🧡

I am the mother of two sons that had infertility issues. One with varicocele his wife with retroverted uterus, told they would never have a child they started the adoption process then God blessed them with our first grandson, followed by two brothers. The other son he and his wife tried for 9 years , we don’t know the issue they are more private, but then God blessed them with a son then a daughter. I want you to remember, as I know you know God is in control of this , he’s got this, rest in that peace….Let go and let God. You are the most beautiful family and I am believing for that little miracle for you.

I personally had a miscarriage history. I was blessed enough to be able to finally have a daughter and a son. I lost my sons twin early on and he was born 6 weeks early. Both of my kids are adults now. My daughter is 32 and has had 6 miscarriages. She's been blessed with 3 beautiful girls. It's been alot on our whole family. The whole journey. The ups and downs. But there was support. That's what you and Phil are trying to offer by sharing your story and your family. Nowadays sadly so many become what they feel is brave and say hateful things to wonderful people simply because they are hiding behind a keyboard. It's just not right. I'm so very sorry you're beautiful family has been treated like that. You don't deserve it. Know you are amazing and loved by many. We will continue to encourage you both to live your lives how you see fit. If you choose to have 10 kids then more blessings to you. You take great care of them.

☕️ Alex!! You got me through the hardest part of our infertility journey and IVF cycles. Your bravery, knowledge, and compassion is unmatched. Please don’t let those nasty people get to you. Hurt people hurt people and they’re trying to bring you down to their miserable level. So many of us look up to you and are encouraging of your ongoing journey!! Keep up the faith and hard work! It’ll be worth it! 💕

We appreciate all you share. Coming from Canada and still waiting for adoption placement. Been on the list for 6 years now. I appreciate all the information you share. I love also seeing your family on homestead as well. Love the family joy. Keep sharing all you want to.

I hate that you had to see such awful comments by people that just don't get it. It takes a lot of courage to be able to put your life out there for others. I haven't suffered from Infertility, but I found your channel as well as a few others and subscribed to give you my support and to know you had another person in your corner praying for your success. Now I have people in my life who have struggled with fertility and with the stress and depression that comes with it. I may buy her a Love Multiplies shirt to match the one I have. Thank you for doing and sharing everything that you have given and shared with us. Your family is amazing and so inspiring.

We’ve been ttc for 13 yrs. We are A God fearing couple and we will continue to pray for and Your husband. Thank you for being real. We get so tired of people assuming we just don’t want kids. Thank you for encouraging me today.

I have been watching your family since the beginning when Kinsley was a baby. I have enjoyed every phase of watching your family. I’m sad that you can’t be as open as you used to be. I have missed that part of your vlogs. I have to come to really enjoy the homesteading blogs. You inspired me to get my special needs grandson to plant a garden. He built the beds, picked out what he wanted to grow, planted everything himself and his garden has flourished. He is so proud of himself. He regularly distributes his vegetables to neighbors as we can’t keep up with the amount he has grown. He now has a passion for gardening, growing his own food and found something that he can be good at. He struggles with learning and friendships but this has brought him so much pride in himself. I thank your channel for inspiring us to try something we hadn’t done before.

Orange juice! Never apologize for keeping your privacy private. Your family and life are an inspiration to me. I feel like we have gone through the infertility journey together. My IVF baby is 3 now. We were due in October of this year but we gained an angel baby this year, too. Praying for you!!

Orange Juice! So much love for you guys! You have helped me on many occasions to not feel so alone on this infertility journey that sucks so much!

Orange juice 😊 You both are absolute amazing parents and I hope your dreams of wanting to grow your family come true, whatever way that you chose or are blessed with. You both are the type of parents that deserve 10 kids!!! Your hearts are huge and I appreciate you sharing your life and journey with us!!

☕️ Thank you sooooooo much for sharing your results and I just want to say that I am so incredibly sorry that you received hateful comments during your miscarriage. I am so excited that you are choosing to be vulnerable again though because honestly finding your channel has felt like my “me too” moment 😊 My husband also went through the bilateral varicocele repair surgery 2 years ago , I’m sad to say he didn’t see much improvement but I am extremely hopeful for Phil’s outcome since he already saw improvement 85 days after. Also, thank you soo much for sharing the tip of fertile aid. I would LOVE to be placed on the email list if you decide to send tips and details in that manner. Thanks again for being vulnerable and sharing ur heart and journey 🙏 praying for y’all 🥰

People who have not been through infertility will never understand the pain. Knowing you will have to go to the doctor to conceive and can’t just spontaneously get pregnant. Thank you so much for your videos! You have helped me through my infertility journey. I also have severe endometriosis and male factor. We had to go through ivf to get our sweet little miracle here today that is 2. Prayers for you and Philip on your journey!

You spoke to my heart when you were talking about the second infertility, I have a beautiful daughter who just turned 17, I am blessed, but the grief of never being able to get pregnant after having her. Last year I had to have a complete hysterectomy due to uterine cancer. That brought along a new grief. It doesn't mean I don't absolutely love my little family, because I do, but the grief is long lasting. Thank you Alex!

I think conferences would be an awesome idea and so helpful for couples. I’ve watched you both since the beginning and have enjoyed your journey including all the travels in the RV were priceless. Excited for your journey and the growth of your family.

I've said it once and I'll say it again. Ignore all those who are negative. They have far greater issues that need to be dealt with. You do what makes you happy. If that means having 10 children, then you have them!! God will see you through this and give you all his many blessings. Please dont apologize anymore. You dont owe anyone anything!

☕️ Please don't quit sharing your journey. You and Philip have so much love and knowledge to give.

That was a beautiful and heartfelt video. My heart goes out to those of you who struggle with infertility. We were blessed with a full house, 3 boys and 4 girls including boy-girl twins the last pregnancy. I love watching you grow your family however you can. I wish you all the best in doing so in the future. Your girls are so very precious and you and Philip are wonderful parents to them. 💖 Oh, and "Orange Juice" . Lol.

I'm so sorry you got hateful comments 💔 We struggled through our own Infertility journey that never did end in a successful pregnancy due to both male and female Infertility. We were blessed beyond measure to grow our family through adoption and I am forever grateful for that, however I understand that the struggle is all to real 💜 Love you guys and your girls!

This is why I have my channel, to bring light to others through my own life with cerebral palsy and positivity sprinkled in 😊❤️

I have followed you since the beginning. I love how you can speak out about infertility, and I am sure you help others that have had difficulty as well. I cried with you, I prayed with you. It is amazing to see how strong and courageous you and Philip are. You have the most beautiful girls.#☕️

So sorry to hear that people have been so cruel to you all…. I miss your openness and you vlogs have brought me so much joy over the years, but it’s completely understandable. ❤❤❤

Orange juice 🍊 Sending you love and positive vibes from Latvia! I don’t understand how people can be so cruel and hateful sometimes.. I genuinely love your family, your personality and all the videos, they are so interesting, honest and informative to me, I feel like we are friends 🙂 Wishing you all the best! ☺️

Orange juice 🍊!!! We love your family so much and I’m so heartbroken to hear how cruel people were. I just want to say I can’t tell you how much you guys sharing your journey has helped, encouraged me and made me feel I had someone who understood. I have watched you guys for over 6 years and now I’m about to embark on my own ivf journey and I’m terrified. I felt so overwhelmed and scared so you know what I did? I went back and watched the ivf vlogs, they were so helpful. Thank you both from the bottom of my heart for sharing and being so vulnerable and so open to love on others with such a personal journey. You have made so many of us feel like we have a place to come to, someone who truly understands. Also I miss seeing Phillip and his encouraging words, and his laugh miss that 😊 I feel like he maybe has taken a step back from the vlogs a little. I hope he’s maybe able to come back a little soon but I totally understand he’s probably wrangling the girls while your doing the videos ha ha! Thank you both again and I will continue to pray for your adorable family! 💕🌻

I love orange juice! 🍊And I love your content. This video reminded me so much of your old content, in a good way, and it was nice to hear what’s been on your heart and mind lately. I’ve been following for a long time, and am interested in both your infertility journey AND your homesteading. It’s all fascinating to me, and I am always rooting for your family! Thank you for sharing this personal story with us! 💛🌸

I'm HOPEFUL for you Alex and Phil! 🙏🙏🙏

I’ve been watching since the condo days the building of the RV journey and the joy of seeing you go through a successful pregnancy plus the heartbreak of her heart condition and her surgery but the best part is this journey of the farm and watching these beautiful little girls grow and flourish in the loving environment both you and Phil have made for them and yourselves, I really hope you two have a houseful of children, grandchildren and Gr-grandchildren…. Love to you all. 🍊😆🙏🏻

I love when you share most of us do,so don't worry about negative comments because we got you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️we love your whole family

I’ve been watching you guys for some years now, and it breaks my heart that some people made you feel like you didn’t want to share your personal, “original” journey. You’ve hit a lot of milestones in all areas in your lives. I know you want more children and I pray that’s God’s will for you too. I’m so proud of you for reaching out again to share your infertility journey. I also pray Phil gets his much deserved improvement. God Bless you all! 🙏🏻😇😇😇😇😇😇😇♥️🍀

First❣️ Thank you for all of your rawness and being authentic. You and Phil have helped my husband and I through our losses. Thank you for all you do! I'm so sorry you had to endure those things.

I've been following you guys since my early 20s, when I was single and not in the conception season of my life (so like 5+ years) and I always always always have been rooting for you guys to have your big family. I have cried along with you both with the ups and downs of your journey. When it finally came my time to try and my first pregnancy resulted in a miscarriage, I knew I had found you guys for a reason. I could not be more grateful for everything you guys have ever shared. Your family is the sweetest and so inspirational! 💕💕💕 So thank you, thank you, thank you! 🙏 Orange juice, cheers. 🍵

Hah Love the orange juice! Thank you for being vulnerable with your journey to fertility. My husband and I struggled through 8 years and 3 losses before our son was born; and now we're in the stage of secondary infertility and loss. Your perseverance has been such an encouragement for me! For the first time I've finally had the courage to start the bloodwork process to see if there is something we can do to sort out my hormones. Blood draw was yesterday, so in 3 weeks we'll know how to move forward :)

🍊 Alex you have been an encouragement, if I got through ivf it was because of your videos. Phil’s words, your tips, your tears everything helped me so much!!!! Thank you for being so honest!!

Orange juice 🧡 love your sweet family! Praying for full healing for Phillip! God moves mountains!!!

🍊 thank you for being vulnerable and sharing! Praying for success in your infertility journey!

You are well within your rights to protect yourself as needed - we appreciate anything you do choose to share ❤

I am completely unable to understand how people feel they have the right to send rude and awful messages. It is beyond me it truly is. I pray that you and Phil get to have another beautiful baby to join your family. 🧡
