Hope and her spouse Tyler decided they were ready to have a baby in 2017 and began trying to conceive. It was a long road of unexplained infertility and multiple miscarriages. They conceived a sticky baby in June 2018 and gave birth to their daughter, Magnolia, March 5, 2019 at 38+5 weeks at a free standing birth center in Nashville (Baby&Co, now Vanderbilt Birth center). After 24 hours of back labor, thanks to Magnolia being OP, Hope achieved her goal of an unmedicated birth while squatting in the corner of the room at 9:45 pm.
