“Most kids dream of being a doctor, an astronaut, a veterinarian or some other profitable occupation. Although I had similar career aspirations, I knew at an early age I most wanted to be a wife and a mother. And in 2012 the first of those dreams came true…I married my best friend. I thought if my husband just looked at me the right way I would get pregnant. I couldn’t have been more wrong. The next 6 years were filled with loss, unexplained infertility and heart-wrenching disappointment. One doctor’s words to my husband and I still hurt to recount. As…

Pregnancy Complications “When you are told something is wrong with your baby while you are pregnant, you are shattered. When you are ‘encouraged’ to terminate your pregnancy because of issues that may likely occur for your baby (if he even survives birth), you have every negative emotion to navigate through, or at least I did. I was told at my anatomy scan they found abnormalities consistent with trisomy 18 or a different chromosome abnormality in my baby. I was angry this doctor would suggest such a thing as ‘terminate,’ but I knew that was her job. She was trying to…
“John and I met in college that fateful night when he re-filled my solo cup with fresh Jungle Juice and asked me for my AOL Instant Messenger screen name. I was still technically a teenager. We have been together for nearly two decades. We grew up together, and as cliché as it sounds, we are each other’s best friends. We’ve come a long way from our 680-square foot apartment, sharing a car, and living off one salary while we paid for my graduate school. I was teaching special education Kindergarten while John proposed to me with all the students in…
“I have always loved being a mother. For 6 years, it was just TJ and I. When I learned I was pregnant again, I was over the moon. From the beginning, things did not sit well with me. Two days after taking a home pregnancy test, I was extremely sick and unable to eat any meat. The headaches and vomiting were endless. Some call it morning sickness, but what I was experiencing lasted all day! I was sick if I tried to eat and sick if I did not eat anything at all. I went to my first obstetrician appointment…

Kortney and Justin Miller welcomed four new little ones weeks earlier than expected. When you hear heartwarming stories about couples overcoming major odds to ᴄᴏɴᴄᴇɪᴠᴇ, ɪɴꜰᴇʀᴛɪʟɪᴛʏ is usually the culprit. For Kortney and Justin Miller, a couple in their early 20s, it seems as if over-ꜰᴇʀᴛɪʟɪᴛʏ was at play when they naturally ᴄᴏɴᴄᴇɪᴠᴇᴅ quadruplets. Are you ready for the odds? I don’t think you’re ready. The odds of ᴄᴏɴᴄᴇɪᴠɪɴɢ quadruplets without I.V.F or ꜰᴇʀᴛɪʟɪᴛʏ ᴛʜᴇʀᴀᴘʏ are 1 in 700,000. As if that isn’t rare enough, the Miller quads are even more extraordinary.

Los científicos ahora saben que un asteroide masivo de Yucatán golpeó la tierra hace 66 millones de años al final del Período Cretácico, causando finalmente la extinción de la mayoría de las especies de dinosaurios. Fue el repentino cambio de clima que acompañó a esta desastrosa colisión astronómica lo que hizo que la tierra fuera inhabitable para estos reptiles de sangre fría, lo que llevó a la completa desaparición de criaturas que habían vagado por la tierra durante más de 100 millones de años. Pero hubo algunos dinosaurios que no encontraron su desaparición como resultado del catastrófico cambio climático posterior…
