Sarah and Matthew are taking us through their journey of the birth of their daughter and the preparations they made ahead of time for her arrival. 

They have such great information on the preparations they made and tips on how you can prepare for your baby as well. Matthew is a big believer in having a support system, regardless of how you find it, so you have people to reach out to when you need it the most.
