I’m Mindy, co-founder of Awaiting the Stork™, and my journey to motherhood wasn’t a storybook tale—it was a winding path filled with longing, setbacks, and quiet hopes. My husband and I spent years “awaiting the stork,” navigating multiple fertility clinics and countless disappointments. As an OB-GYN nurse practitioner, I cared for women welcoming their babies every day, even as I struggled to conceive my own. It was both inspiring and heartbreaking.

Then, finally, our miracle arrived: a positive test, and soon after, our beautiful son. That moment changed everything. The experience lit a fire in me—a determination to help other mothers, moms-to-be, and anyone on the road to parenthood. I knew firsthand how it felt to yearn for that tiny heartbeat and how every step of pregnancy and postpartum can feel both exhilarating and overwhelming.

That’s why we created Awaiting the Stork™. We wanted to build more than just an online shop; we wanted a warm, supportive nest where every mother, no matter her background or journey, can find expert-vetted fertility products, pregnancy essentials, postpartum support, and nurturing items for her newborn. Here, you’ll find connection and understanding woven into every recommendation and piece of guidance we share.

Our mission is simple: to help you feel seen, understood, and cared for. You deserve to move through fertility treatments, pregnancy milestones, and the early days of motherhood with confidence and peace of mind. Welcome to Awaiting the Stork™—your trusted companion on this incredible journey.
