24 Week Bump-Date


Big day on the calendar this year! 24 Weeks Pregnant, Thanksgiving Buffet at Chateau Elan, Mom's 60th Birthday and Hanukkah! Can this be a more eventful day? Well, in our case yes.... We found Dixie chewing on a very old and very expired piece of Nicorette gum. Where did she get it you might ask? why, in a old purse in the bottom of our closet of course!  We immediately called the ER Vet who forwarded us to animal poison control.  We were instructed to induce vomiting by giving Hydrogen Peroxide. It worked immediatly however no gum was seen in the vomit.  We were then told to take her to the ER vet for blood work to check for a toxic sweetener "xylatol" thankfully puppy's blood came back normal and we were sent home.  It was a big scare for us...Never a dull moment!

I've also started to feel Mr. Young's movements more frequently this week, I can breathe a little easier when I know he's moving.

I saw you in a dream...

  Madison Sophia Young Born into Heaven Sunday, November 18, 2012 I saw you in a dream Before you were real I can't explain the way I feel Don't ask me to try It makes my heart cry Love created the seed that attached itself to my heart The seed became a life To me became a part The mystery of how it begins we will never know What makes a seed begin to grow What makes a heart begin to beat Growing little hands and little feet What makes it look like you or me Is simply just a mystery The cosmic force that makes me whole Is bound up in your little soul You hold my hand from inside out I feel you turn and dance about I don't know what's in God's plan He took you by your tiny hand Your beautiful little angle face Is now a part of time and space Your purest soul that's ever been Will never ever be touched by sin I cry, I weep, I cannot sleep I think what might have been Thank you for the joy you...

My Forever Child

I received my beautiful custom charm necklace in the mail today from My Forever Child .  My necklace was made with Madison's actual footprints which were laser etched from the scan below. I am so thrilled with the way it turned out. This brought a smile to my day! Madison's Footprints I smile every time I look at the second toe on the right foot... it is exactly like Mikes! This beautiful poem was also included with the charm...  

"So, how's the baby?"

It amazes me how different peoples reactions are when I tell them I lost my baby. All in all I've only had to answer this question about six times. I know that it doesn't sound like an awful lot but each one still manages to throw me into a funk. Yesterday, three people, today one. I play these conversations over and over in my head and wonder how the other person took the news. It all starts with a sweet, innocent gesture, a simple: "So, how's the baby?" I reply, "Unfortunately, we lost her". If you can imagine the look of someone seeing a ghost, that's about the look I receive. I've heard: "I'm so sorry", "God Bless You", "that's not the answer that I was expecting" "Oh, I totally forgot!" (guessing this person knew and asked without thinking?!?) Some people blush and look like they want to run away, some gave me a hug, some say they will keep me in their prayers. And before you know ...
