"Me and Joe were in our first trimester. When we got the news we were pregnant, it was the happiest moment of our lives. We've been wanting this for so long, to be parents. It seemed like all of our prayers had been answered. It was our time now for our baby, and as days went by, we started talking about names telling our immediate family and friends we were pregnant!" she wrote.

"But knowing in the back of our minds anything could happen, but honestly, we were so excited that we were trying so hard not to think that way. Yesterday I just knew something didn't feel right, my body was not right. I felt every presence of the baby was gone," she continued. "Joe rushed me to the hospital and that's when I just knew we had lost the baby and the hours seemed like days while we waited it became more and more real. We were devastated.

Later, she explained her reason for sharing her experience, noting, "I've always been someone who wants for people to get to know me and not just what they see on social media. That's something that has been important to me thru my life is to be transparent with you all and if my story can help anyone going thru the same thing that was exactly what I wanted to do."
