Christmas!

I love Christmas. It's my absolute favorite time of the year. I love buying/making gifts for people and I love seeing their face light up when they open it. It makes me so happy to see. This year I totally went overboard on Shelby. But it's not my fault!


Honestly, this year I had planned to get her a few small things for x-mas and that's it. However my sister had a baby in Ocotber, and she's the one going present crazy. Which brought out the mama-guilt in me. I felt like Rayleigh (her little one) was going to have so much more than Shelby, and so the buying frenzy begun! Still, it shouldn't have gotten so crazy. The important thing is that we're all together. <3 I'll learn my lesson and next year I'll be more sensible. Promise!

New start

After thinking long and hard, and after the birth of my little girl, I've decided to put the focus of this blog more on life and less on death and loss. I think it's still important and it's a huge part of who I am, but right here and now, I am full of so much life.


It's been a long time since I last posted. I was still pregnant with my little miracle. She's now here with us, Shelby Abigail was born on September 19th 2010 after a long, brutal labour. I was induced 2 weeks early because I had Gestational Diabetes. She was born 7lbs 12 oz, and 21 in. It's hard to believe but my little pumpkin pie is already 11lb 3oz, and 23 1/4in. Time flies so fast I just want to write it all down while it's fresh! I think I'll post my birth story soon, but it's late and time for bed!

I just want to give some hope to the ladies suffering losses out there: For me it got better. It's never truly gone, but hopefully someday that hole in your heart will heal. I am praying for that day for all of you.

Much love,
