As a first time mom, Dani couldn’t wait for her bundle of joy to arrive!


She expected a huge transition, of course. But then again, she couldn’t full prepare for some elements she’d experience. For example, their baby was born with a heart condition which, obviously, complicated matters.


She and her husband also had to adjust their marital dynamics to accommodate the demands of caring for an infant—as do all new parents.


How did they move through the transition from husband and wife to mother and father—especially given their first born’s physical concerns?


We’re so grateful for Dani’s willingness to get real about those first months of parenting—how it impacted her identity as a woman and as a wife.


Three children and 20 years later, Dani shares what worked for her and her husband—along with what didn’t! 


Join us for real talk on the truth about welcoming a newborn into your marriage!
