Hey!
Every mom needs a community…find yours here.

Motherhood is non-traditional. Motherhood does not look anything like what she thought it would. Motherhood has come to her, and in one sense, been taken away.
Jaime and her husband have walked the path that many other couples have walked when trying to start a family. After learning that they would be unable to conceive, the Krueger’s made the decision to begin the grueling process of IVF.
Jaime describes IVF as one of the most vulnerable and invasive experiences that a person can undergo. And for her and her husband, their journey was filled with pain and multiple losses. Jaime is a mother. She has carried life in her womb. She has heard the flutter of heartbeats, and has imagined who her children would one day grow up to become.
After multiple rounds of IVF, Jaime and her husband made the difficult decision to end their IVF journey and begin an exciting, grueling, new journey towards adoption. As Jaime says, now that they are on this path towards adoption, it’s not a matter of IF they have a child one day, but rather a matter of WHEN.
Mothers come in all forms, and Jaime’s quiet, caring nature is certainly proof of that. After making a career change which allowed her to start working from home, Jaime realized that she needed to find a way to reconnect with people face-to-face.
Jaime created Fill Up Your Cup as a monthly women's social centered around the warmth that comes from a hot cup of coffee and great friendship. She has created a safe, welcoming space for local women, which just further exemplifies her nourishing, mothering spirit.
We are so honored to know you, Jaime. Thank you for always being so willing to share your story- it is SO meaningful, to so many. Thank you for creating Fill Up Your Cup. And thank you for being willing to share your journey through adoption.
