A very good Monday

So, just an fyi I just wrote an entire post. And it deleted itself. So I'm sitting here frustrated and debating whether or not to repost...maybe just some highlights ;-)

My computer is broken right now. Jamey told me that somehow I managed to unplug my power plug from the motherboard. He thinks I dropped it, but I didn't...this time. This poor thing has survived that along with spilled water and who knows what else. He said it's really impressive that I didn't damage anything else with what happened. He calls it luck. I call it talent.

So, he took my entire computer apart tonight and put it back together. It took him about 2 and a half hours. I sat down to turn it on (and it powered up!), but my screen was black. I see Jamey type a few keys and go "Oh man, really?"

He thinks he forgot to plug the monitor cable back in, and he was only checking for the light to blink that it would take a charge when putting it back together. Yep, the charge light is important...but so is the light for my screen. So we both know what Jamey's going to be up to tomorrow night :D

We have been spending more time at home in the last couple weeks in the evenings and on weekends, and it has been so very nice. So relaxing and so needed. And spring is coming! I had a big smile on my face this morning after a restful weekend with bright sunshine on my face as I walked to my car. Last week was pretty rough for me in terms of well...everything, so it was nice to get a reprieve.

I have been working away on crocheting some items for sale. I can't wait to post pictures on here when my computer is up and running! I already have quite a few orders placed for Easter items and am so excited to be doing this. My Grandmother taught me to crochet when I was 11. She taught me all the basic stitches and then how to read patterns. I can't wait to teach our girl how to do this!

I am also excited because my landlords have given the okay for us to start our own little vegetable garden! I have no idea what I'm doing. And it's going to be so. much. fun. Remind me of this if we're halfway through summer and all my stuff is dead, okay?

So, I haven't been posting very much because my life has been pretty uneventful. And I am grateful for that.

I hope the rest of this week goes as well as my Monday started! And I hope you have a wonderful week as well :)

Unfixable

I have to share some things that are going to make some people uncomfortable. I'm okay with that, but I know it's not going to be easy to read because you might want to try to fix me. You can't. You can't "fix" these feelings. You can't pray them away. You can't tell me to "just trust God" and go on with your day. Well, I guess you  can. But I can't. I am not in a good place. I am not okay. I don't even want to be okay at this point. I tell Jamey almost every night that I want to go back to the hospital. I want to lay in that bed. I want to kiss and cuddle my son. I want to stroke his cheeks. I don't care if they're cold. I don't care if he'll never open his eyes again. I just want to go back there and rock him in my arms. I took pictures of the bruises on my arms and hands from being in the hospital. There are so few memories of my son, that I didn't even want to forget that part. My blood pressure w...

Memories

I have videos of the entirety of Sam's life...so even if I forget them, I'll be able to see everything from those moments. The moments after he was born, however, are only images in my head. After Sam died and everyone had the chance to hold him, it was time to get some rest. Jamey's family went home, my sisters slept on the chair and couch in my room, and my parents went out to the car to sleep. The hotel attached to the hospital told my family they'd be charged full price for a room if they checked in at 5am but would need to check out at noon, so they opted not to get one. Jamey crawled into bed with me, Sam snuggled between us. He had been in heaven for over an hour, but to us it just seemed natural. We wanted to share one nap with our boy, before he was physically taken from us. It wasn't a peaceful sleep, of course. Hospital beds aren't made for 2 grown people. But we made it work. Phone calls were made, and we were told that the director of the Cr...

The Hardest Part

One year ago today I had my very last prenatal checkup. I saw both my maternal-fetal medicine specialist and my ob/gyn. My blood pressure was great. Gabriel was still there and moving. There was no indication that within 24 hours my liver would start to fail. I didn't know that April 13th, 2018 would be the last time I ever saw my baby on an ultrasound. It would be the last time I heard his heartbeat. I didn't know that the next morning a pain would begin. The next day I would meet my sweet little 2-month-old nephew. I wouldn't be able to eat because I just wasn't feeling well. I would stay up late with the pain, sipping water and waiting for it to pass. The next night would be spent in the ER, not knowing we would be meeting Gabriel face to face just 10 hours later. One year ago was the beginning of goodbye to this teeny boy. And I had no idea. Wednesday morning. It's time to get ready to leave. Except it's 3:00am. I keep waking up, worried tha...
