Six months. Half a year. 26 weeks. 184 days. No matter which way I count it, it’s hard to believe that six months have passed since our sweet girl was born an angel. I planned to buy those cute stickers you put on your baby’s clothes each month. You know the ones…1 month, 1 months,… Continue reading six months
Every Thanksgiving my Facebook news feed is full of people listing out the things they are thankful for. Smiling children. Spouses. Family. Health. Money. Technology. Freedom. Last year I posted a picture of Carter wearing a preschool made construction paper turkey crown. I said I was thankful for him that day, and all the other… Continue reading Empty chair
I want to get a tattoo. Many of my “new” friends have tattoos in remembrance of their babies. Names, footprints, heartbeats. And they are beautiful. I don’t have any tattoos. I have never been against them, just didn’t have any good reason to get one. That was before my daughter died. I’d say she’s a… Continue reading WOOF

This… Continue reading Hypochondria

I can cry at the drop of a hat these days. In the middle of Target. At my desk at work.Driving in… Continue reading She’s everything
Thursday May 28, 2015 was an ordinary day. I took my 3 year old son to preschool. I went to work. Since I ended up getting out of work early and still had some time before my prenatal appointment at 3:30pm, I went to Target. I bought pacifiers and diapers. I remember another mom in… Continue reading Lily’s story
So here I am. I have no idea what I’m doing. The month of October I posted daily pictures and thoughts on my Facebook page as a project called Capture Your Grief. I got a lot of positive feedback. Day 3 or 4 I jokingly thought ‘maybe I’ll start a blog’. Day 15 or 16… Continue reading The beginning…
