Jessica

Hey, I’m Jessica! A 5 time IUI, and 3 time IVF failure story (for another time), and proud ‘geriatric’ mama to my 8 month old rainbow baby boy, Hayden. I’ve been with my amazing husband, Adam, for 13 years and married for 5 (in September). 

I didn’t choose the geriatric life, the geriatric life chose me… hmmm, doesn’t have the same effect as thug life… I spent the majority of my 20’s trying to figure out who I was and what I wanted to do with my life. I partied (a lot!), I traveled, and eventually packed my little Toyota Corolla and drove myself and pug, LoLa, from Maine to California where I ended up meeting my husband. We relocated to Dallas, Texas (where my husband is from) and have been living here for 12 years. 

I always knew I wanted kids, I just knew I was far too selfish at the time my maternal clock was ticking to make it happen. I chose to live my life with no regrets and focused on developing myself professionally, financially and mentally. I’m not the same person I was in my 20’s and am extremely grateful for having the time to become the best version of myself before starting a family. I didn’t realize I’d be at the ‘prehistoric’ age of 39 when I had my first child, but here we are! 

On our blog and podcast I’ll be sharing my full journey to ‘geriatric’ mama-hood. I’ll also be opening up about what it’s like to be a first time mama at 40, reliving some embarrassing moments, offering advice and tips based on personal experiences, answering questions, and having fun girl talk with my geriatric bff, Sonia!
