Kristian and I (Josh) grew up in different areas in California. We eventually met while working at FedEx, and that is where the crazy journey began. We’ve been together since 2011, though we don’t agree with our timeline, I like to hope she has grown to accept it. We have gone through ups and downs like any relationship so of course there is nothing new under the sun.
Our journey to becoming parents was not the simplest nor was it fun. We went through a rough start when we became pregnant late 2013 and early 2014 enduring two losses back to back. As much as it hurt to see my wife struggle with the loss we drowned ourselves in work so we could stay distracted. We eventually expressed our pain through a tattoo to always remember what was lost and what those losses did for us.
We ended up getting a dog named RJ. He is a half breed husky with a tough attitude who ended up being super loving and very demanding. You can say he was officially our first kid and the beginning of our crazy adventure.
Beginning of the Journey
In 2015 we got pregnant again and by August our first son was born. No words can describe the feeling we felt and every moment leading up was as terrifying as hearing the news. Happiness could not describe what came next. The following year we were pregnant again and in 2016 our second son was born. Of course things changed, and double trouble was nothing to describe what I would call a dream. Then the dream became a dream team and we were pregnant again in mid 2017. In 2018 our third son was born and boy did he came out running. This is where the journey continues…
