What is more irresistible than a newborn baby who looks so cuddly and adorable with an innocent smile? It is no wonder that first-time parents Jessica and Joshua Egan, from Salt Lake City, Utah, were utterly besotted the moment their baby girl, Gwendolyn, arrived into this world. But the Egans’ parenthood journey wasn’t easy from the start.

After a fairytale wedding in a castle in 2017, the couple sought fertility treatment in hope of starting a family soon. Needless to say, they were overjoyed when Jessica was pregnant after two rounds of IVF.
