Stacy Patterson’s Bio
I am Stacy Patterson from Dallas, Tx. I’m 35 years old & married to my husband Edward of 5 years. We have 2 beautiful daughters, Tania age 12 & McKenzie age 6.
Tell me about your journey to motherhood? What obstacles have you overcome?I became a mother for the first time at the age of 23 with my oldest daughter who was born premature at 32 weeks gestation. She spent 3 weeks in the NICU until coming home at a little over 5lbs. My 2nd daughter McKenzie was born 6 years later. Very textbook pregnancy. No incidents. We had recently been trying for a boy last year & we found out we were expecting November 2018. Unfortunately due to PPROM & IC we lost our son Emery on March 25, 2019. Recently I’ve had to overcome this loss on top of maternal provoked blood clots & other health problems. Fear of this happening again as we expand our family.
