Ep. 248 We're Pregnant! Our Fertility Story + Plans for Pregnancy

We are pregnant!

In today's special episode, we want to dive into our fertility story, how we planned for this season, and what shifted in our hearts and lives leading up to trying.

I open up about my early fears around motherhood, how family jokes once shaped my identity, and the moment I knew Omar would be an incredible father. We talk about praying for guidance, timing, and acceptance — and how those prayers brought a deep sense of peace.

We also want to share the unexpected way this journey began: a planned fast interrupted by getting sick, a wedding we stayed home from, and Vanessa’s Oura Ring signaling that something was different. You’ll hear the story of the very early pregnancy test, how I surprised Omar at the airport, and his reaction when we took another test at home just to be sure.

From the beginning, we made the intentional choice to tell our community and loved ones right away, so we could walk through this experience with the people we care about, not in secrecy or fear.

I want to talk through the supplements I'm taking, the changes in my energy, and what nutrition and movement look like right now, including six smaller meals, simple foods, ginger and peppermint tea and keeping 10k steps and workouts while paying close attention to my body’s signals.

And yes… the Mexican flavor cravings are very real.

We’re honored to share this part of our story with you. If pregnancy, family planning, or listening to others’ journeys has ever brought up emotions for you — we see you, and this episode is shared with so much love and compassion.
