About

​ My name is Katie and Makenna is my first daughter. She was born on 5/20/22 at 11:55am at only twenty-two weeks and six days. Her arrival was unexpected, traumatic, and also life changing. Makenna fought hard for three and a half days, but gained her wings on 5/24/22. 

I am married to Makenna's daddy, Trevor. Together we have a total of 3 angel babies, one living son, two dogs, and two cats. We got married in 2014 at 19 years old; Trevor joined the army; we lived in South Korea and Colorado, bought our first home in the height of covid shut downs, finally had our dream wedding, and then decided we were ready to start a family. In October of 2020, I had my first miscarriage at 9 weeks. We waited a full year before we tried again and unfortunately, I had my second miscarriage in October of 2021 also at 9 weeks. 

In January of 2022, we found out we were pregnant for a 3rd time. Immediately upon finding out about this pregnancy, I knew I would hold this baby in my arms. 

What I didn't know was how short of a time I would get to hold her in my arms. I didn't know that for the rest of my life I would be holding Makenna in my heart with her other two siblings. From the moment we found out I was pregnant with Makenna, I knew this baby was meant for something. It's my job as her mother to keep her memory alive and make sure other loss moms gain something from Makenna. 

I want Rainbows for Makenna to give other
