Absolutely.
So we got married in 2015 and then shortly after started thinking about having babies and had a lot of conversations around genetics and just we wanted to be responsible about it and, you know, not cause anyone pain because we've been through it.
But also thought, hey, who better to take care of a child that has this than two people who have been through it?
The amount of times I think that I have it throughout the day is next to zero.
So truly, it's not very impactful to my life now, but we were concerned about it.
Had a lot of specialist conversations and got pregnant with our first baby in 2016 and happy to report she did not have it.
Yeah, we had scans a lot and they were finally able to visualize the bladder filling up and emptying.
And that was the sign that the bladder was inside working properly.
And then I had another successful pregnancy in 2021.
So we have two little girls.
Doing well.
It's so unimpactful to our day to day.
And I just think that's so important with anything.
You know, you're stamped with a diagnosis and some people, they put it right on their name tag when they introduce themselves.
I don't care for that.
I think it's just so important to live your life.
And that's part of who I am, but it's not who I am.
We both live our lives very similarly like that and teach our girls the same kind of morals.
This better be framed in your house.
Yes, they are all framed.
