Business Spotlight: Pfeffer farm and garden

The Lee Family
Jordan and Tiah Lee shocked not only their family and friends, but the internet too, when they finally announced their pregnancy online. What made these moments so special was the reactions of their family and friends that they caught on camera.Â
Tiah, a former Racine County Eye Hometown Hero, was diagnosed with PCOS when she was in college. This led to challenges for the couple when they were trying to get pregnant. They endured going to various specialists, doing three rounds of IUI, and even one round of IVF. During IVF, Tiah had to get injections everyday for 10 weeks straight. But, to them, it has all been worth it for their expected bundle of joy.
The Lees share their struggle with infertility publicly in hopes of bringing about more awareness in the community and also as a way to encourage others whose lives are similarly afflicted. Read the full story here.
