We’re starting the journey to Baby Number 2!! Kim has her consultation with @rgiohio on Friday! Same sex couples have to do a little extra planning to expand their family. So we’re starting to plan for the next Baby Connelly! Kim and I have two vials left at California @cryobank from the donor we used to have Breslyn. IUI is less expensive than IVF but it’s also less effective. I did two rounds of IUI unsuccessfully before switching to IVF. Kim is on my insurance which fortunately has fertility coverage, so IVF is covered. Most people who have fertility coverage have to do 6 rounds of IUI before IVF is covered (if at all). With @progyny we don’t have that stipulation! So we have decided to do IVF again but Kim is going to carry this time! I had such a good experience with both @progyny, @cryobank and @rgiohio that we’re keeping everything the same! The plan is to do the retrieval this year and freeze her embabies until we’re ready to transfer next year! We’re both so excited to give Breslyn a sibling!

I love Pride Month but I hate it at the same time. LGBTQ+ people like me were classified as having a mental disorder by the World Health Organization until May 17, 1990. LGBTQ+ people like me couldn’t marry the person they love (if they were the same sex) in most of the US until June 26, 2015. LGBTQ+ people like me can still be fired in 27 states for being LGBTQ+. LGBTQ+ people like me in Florida (starting July 1, 2023) can be dying and medical providers will be allowed to deny service or refuse to perform certain procedures based on their moral or ethical beliefs. (Protections of Medical Conscience Act) LGBTQ+ people like me in Uganda, can face life in prison because acts of homosexuality are now criminalized. (Anti-Homosexuality Bill 2023) So while I love Pride Month… the community, the joy, the unity and the feeling of being free to live out loud… I wish we didn’t need one. 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲? 𝗜𝗳 𝘀𝗼, 𝗦𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗘!

I celebrate Pride because I remember what came before it. Because I remember shame... I remember inequality... I remember the opposite of Pride. And so we celebrate! We come together to... Celebrate growth... To celebrate all we are capable of being... To celebrate love, knowing that every good thing starts there. We celebrate Pride because LOVE HAS ALWAYS BEEN AND WILL ALWAYS BE WORTH CELEBRATING.

She may not remember these moments… but I will. Yesterday, I took our daughter to the Cleveland Zoo for the first time while Umma was at work and we’re planning a family trip to Disney this fall! People have asked why we’re going when Breslyn is still so small. My answer is they might not be memories for her. But they’re still memories for us! I’ll never forget her giggle the first time she touched a goat. It was like music to my ears. I left the sound on so it can be music to yours too. That sound is what makes it worth it.

Reminder: While we’re all arguing over Target, our kids are still being gunned down in schools. In 2023, the K-12 database has recorded 89 gun-related incidents at a school so far, nearly one for every day this year.

It finds that through March 29th, there have been 74 people killed or injured in schools this year alone, not including the shooters. That includes 18 people fatally shot, and 56 more who were injured. 𝗖𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁?

Target employees and staff are receiving death threats and violence over bathing suits and shirts! Read that twice. I know this topic is controversial for so many people who say “let the kids be kids.” So here’s an analogy I find helpful. When I go to @target and see a children’s plus size bathing suit, it doesn’t personally affect me. It’s not going to make our daughter plus sized. But for a child with a bigger body, that bathing suit is going to allow them to enjoy summer vacation in the water! They won’t feel left out, forgotten or worse, like they don’t deserve to go swimming with their friends. A bathing suit with extra room in the gusset, doesn’t affect me! But for a child who needs it, who just wants to feel comfortable in a bathing suit at the pool, it’s literally LIFE SAVING! That bathing suit could be the difference between a happy summer and the threat of public ridicule, verbal harassment or even worse, physical violence! And I don’t believe that ANY CHILD should EVER have to face that! A store selling inclusive bathing suits doesn’t target the kids anymore than a store selling plus size swimwear.

No one will ever know what being chosen as @flytographer’s Chief Memory Makers means to us! Or how very grateful we are! But this is the chance of a lifetime!!! ❤️ But I wanted to share a little of our story and what we shared with them 💕 “Life is a collection of moments. If you're lucky, you don't have to experience them alone. I met my best friend after 35 years of solo adventures. My biggest blessing is that we've made so many beautiful memories since then. Walking through life with my best friend, my wife Kimberly, is continuously my biggest adventure. This friendship makes the mundane ordinary experiences seem memorable. It makes every exploration seem once in a lifetime. We take photos to remember. Each one a return ticket to a moment otherwise gone. We take them to hand down to our daughter. To leave a legacy of who we were and to show that we truly lived. My father was killed two years ago and when you lose someone unexpectedly you realize how important it is to make memories while you can. You realize that when we're gone, pictures are the memories we hold on to and cherish. My wife and I have been married for almost three years. It was our dream to honeymoon in Italy, but due to COVID, we were thankful just to be married. My wife is an RN and saw firsthand how precious life is and we were grateful just to have each other and our health. To be chosen for this honor would be more than a gift but a dream realized. I've never been to Europe and to be able to explore the Amalfi Coast in all its splendor with my partner in life, exploration captain and dearest friend would truly be the chance of a lifetime. I am forever grateful for this love, this friendship and for this opportunity. Thank you for the chance!”

#sponsored When people look at me, they don’t see depression written across my forehead. That’s because depression doesn’t have a look. Depression doesn’t discriminate against age, orientation or ethnicity. That’s why it’s important to have open and honest conversations about depression so that no one has to go through it alone. I’ve struggled with depression and navigating depression treatment can be challenging, but there is help.​ I’m proud to have joined Janssen for the Depression Looks Like Me campaign to raise awareness and to help others. I want to make sure that the LGBTQ+ community struggling with depression know they’re not alone. You are seen and you are worthy of getting the right care and the resources to access it. To find out more, check out Depressionlookslikeme.com at the link in my bio. ​ If you or someone you love has ever struggled with depression, where have you gone for help? ​ #depressionlookslikeme
