Decison-making

How do 10 days go by so quickly? I swear I just posted a couple of days ago...

It was pretty easy losing track of the time while spending a week with my family.

Sigh. I miss them.

And I'm really at a blank right now as to what to post. Jamey and I are really having to make some big decisions, but I'm just not ready to talk about them publicly yet...soon though!

Mira slept for 7 hours straight last night. I actually woke up afraid that I had missed something or hadn't heard her because she had slept for so long. And she went down like a dream tonight...please Lord don't let this be a rarity ;-)

I'm sure I sound like a broken record at this point, but can I just reiterate how incredibly blessed we are? We have baby items coming out our ears at this point that have been just handed to us by our family and friends, we have good jobs, great insurance, cars that run, and we have a wonderful relationship that has weathered through the worst. We are tired, things aren't always perfect, and stuff often breaks. But it sure is nice to keep these blessings in mind when things do go wrong.

Can you please pray for us as we head into a season of decision-making? Please pray that we have the clarity to hear the whispers of God for what He wants in our lives over the deafening sound of our own desires. Thank you :-)

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

We Look Like Four

6 years ago I celebrated Mother's Day with no baby in my arms. Sam had died 2 weeks before. The year after that, I was pregnant with Mira and still had no baby to hold. The year after, Mira gave me the gift of the stomach flu. ;) The last few years have been fairly "normal" with the exception that one of my children was not there. And this year, I will celebrate with half of my children. There is nothing easy about this. One thing I grieve is I will never have all of my children in one picture. I asked the photographer to take one with Mira and Edward when they came to visit us at the hospital. I'd said, I don't care if it's crazy or no one is looking. I just want one with us as a family of 5. That's what we have. One picture of the 5 of us. One. We're a family of six, but out and about we look like four. We don't look like our hands are full with just the two. We don't know what it's like to juggle a baby carrier while chasing do

A New Way to Celebrate

"But He could have saved my boys.  He could have . I'm so angry He didn't. I'm going to have to work through that with God, and I'm going to need time to do it. This isn't a quick fix, and there is no band-aid big enough to patch this damage. This cut is so deep it's going to take some major reconstructive surgery." I wrote that nearly two years ago. Two years. I wasn't wrong. There has been no quick fix. There was no band-aid. I'm still working through this with God. I still need time. I'll likely be working on this grief until it's my turn to leave this world. What I can  say is the waves have settled a bit; the intensity of the grief not quite so severe. I don't talk about them as much anymore. I no longer desire to go back to the hospital and cradle their cold bodies. We're done having children....even that  thought isn't as painful as it was just a year ago. Sam's birthday is April 30th. Gabriel
