⁣"I’ve held my breath from the moment the fertility specialist said I’m pregnant. I tried my best not to show my fear bc I only wanted to put positive energy out for this sweet baby boy growing in my belly.👶🏼🌈⁣," she wrote in the post.

"With each pregnancy milestone I felt more and more confident we wouldn’t lose him, but I never felt 'safe' to just let all my guards down…which unfortunately prevented me from truly bonding with him.😔 ."

She added, "I’m really hoping to deliver my own son. I want to pull him out and bring him up to my chest and just LOVE on him.🙏🏻 I can’t wait to smell his newborn scent & stare at the wonder of his tiny toes. I am so excited to have a home birth and have the opportunity to have the calmness of my own home so that I can bond and connect on a deeper level with our baby Hayes.🙏🏻🤰🏼👶🏼🌈."

Otis and Hehner are parents to daughter Henley Grace, 2.
