About Me

About Me

Hi, I'm (1 in 8) Kate

I'm married to my best friend and am crazy about my family and friends, I'm obsessed with true crime and wine, and call myself a Jesus Loving Freak (but I promise not to push that on you). However, none of those things are the reason you or I are here - it's because my husband and I are battling infertility. I hope you find The Baby Steps Blog to be a place of safety, hope and humor just like I do! xo
