Pregnancy Announcement: Celebrating the Miracle of Baby Mendoza

It is with overflowing joy and hearts full of gratitude that my husband and I share the most exciting news – miracle baby Mendoza is on the way!

For the past seven years, we’ve journeyed through marriage with love, hope, and faith, but we’ve also faced challenges and heartache along the way. After experiencing loss, we came to an understanding that perhaps this miracle wasn’t in the cards for us. It was an incredibly difficult realization, one that we wrestled with and accepted over time. We had come to terms with the idea that maybe parenthood was a blessing that wasn’t meant for us beyond my bonus son, Mikey. My husband has a wonderful son, and being a bonus mom to Mikey has been one of the greatest gifts.. He has filled our hearts with so much love and joy, but I had also come to peace with the idea that he might be the only child I’d experience motherhood with.

But life has a way of surprising you in the most unexpected and beautiful ways. Just when we least expected it, God blessed us with this incredible miracle – the gift of life. Our hearts are overflowing with love and gratitude, and it still feels surreal that we’re on this journey. We’ve been pinching ourselves daily, taking in every little moment as our baby girl grows.

The last few months have been a whirlwind of emotions, milestones, and deep reflection. Feeling her tiny movements, watching her grow, and imagining the life we’ll share with her has brought us more joy than we could have ever dreamed. It’s a chapter that we are so thrilled to begin, and we are incredibly excited to share this journey with our amazing community.

As I reflect on this moment, I’m reminded of the many ways in which God shows His presence. This baby girl is proof to us that miracles happen, even when they feel impossible. It’s a testament to faith, timing, and love. God has been with us through every step, and this precious gift is a reminder that His plans are greater than anything we can imagine. For anyone walking a similar journey, I hope this serves as a reminder that there’s always hope, even when things seem uncertain.

We ask for your continued prayers as we navigate this new chapter – from pregnancy to parenthood. It’s a journey that’s already filled with love, but we know it will also be filled with learning, challenges, and growth. Your support means the world to us, and we’re grateful to be surrounded by such an incredible community.

I also want to take a moment to thank the wonderful people who helped make our pregnancy announcement even more special:

We are counting down the days until we can finally meet our baby girl. She is already so loved, and we are excited to continue sharing our journey with you. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of our story – your love and prayers have lifted us up in ways we can’t even express.

Here’s to new beginnings, the gift of life, and the incredible journey that lies ahead.
