Hi, I'm Teri! I'm the creator of Baby Bumps in the Road blog. I'm a wife, stepmom, dog mom and mother to an angel baby with a precious rainbow baby on the way.

We found out in October that we are expecting our 2nd baby in July 2018. I couldn't be more excited to be on this pregnancy journey again - even though it's been a bumpy one!
My wish for this blog is to share my experience with others and have a place to talk freely about both of my babies. I hope this blog helps comfort those experiencing a loss and proves that something beautiful can rise from the ashes. Thanks for visiting, and please connect with me on Instagram (@babybumpsintheroad)!
