Thanksgiving is a time to celebrate gratitude, and for Sherresa Henderson last Thanksgiving was an especially grateful season. Just two days after the holiday her and her husband, Joseph, were blessed with their miracle baby boy, Braylen, born on November 27, 2021 weighing 2 pounds and 12 ounces.
Henderson’s journey to motherhood was not without struggle – after suffering unknown infertility for 10 years along with several pregnancy losses over the course of the past three years, her decade-long dream to have a baby finally came true.
She lost two healthy pregnancies in 2020, both at 17 weeks, due to an incompetent cervix. Also referred to as a cervical...

Last October, my husband and I began our journey to become first time parents. Naturally, the first step I took was discontinuing my birth control. I had been on birth control for over 10 years and was lucky to never experience negative side effects such as weight gain or irregular cycles. While on birth control, my cycles were right on time. I assumed discontinuing birth control wouldn’t be an issue, and I would be pregnant within a few months. Boy was I wrong!
At 33 years old, I’ve always had a great relationship with my body and knew it pretty well. I enjoy exercising and staying physically active, and I am fortunate...

Bailey and Kellen Gordon are the parents of 2-year-old twin girls, Willa and Hazel. Only weeks after the twins’ first birthday, the Gordons were thrilled to find out their family would be growing once again.
“Once we shared this exciting news with our family and friends, everyone told us, ‘It’s just one baby this time around, and it will be a lot easier than your twin pregnancy,’ Bailey said. “Well, they jinxed me because this was anything but an easy pregnancy. Early on in my pregnancy, we already had the name picked out. My husband and I had just watched Die Hard starring Bruce Willis and we loved his character’s...
