24: Our Journey to a Third Baby | An Honest Conversation on Fertility, Integrative Health, and IVF
Messy MotherhoodShow Notes
"I think that we were expectant that God was going to show up on this journey to baby number three in a way that we had never really experienced Him before and I will go ahead and tell you- that happened. God has shown up in ways that we've never experienced before, but it wasn't in the way we were hoping and it wasn't in the way we were expecting." - Stephanie Booe
The journey to parenthood can be messy and as you know, Stephanie and Alex are no strangers to the struggles of conception. At the start of 2024, they started the journey to their third baby, but it was a different type of journey. One with more in-depth testing with the hope of having a better understanding of their diagnosis of unexplained infertility.
In this episode, Stephanie takes you on the journey of searching for answers via a more natural approach including integrative and hormone health, seed cycling, extensive bloodwork, parasite cleanses, and more. She's spilling the tea on their journey to baby number three and all of the things she's done or learned along the way before ending the episode with their steps moving forward. There's a lot to unpack in this episode and there are definitely parts that will resonate with you- whether it be in your journey of faith, fertility, or journey to parenthood.

"It doesn't have to be perfect in order for it to be beautiful. It doesn't have to be perfect in order for it to be special. It doesn't have to be perfect in order for it to be memorable. It's not about everything being perfect. It's about everyone being together and making memories. Focus on being present, not perfect." - Stephanie Booe
