Brand New




Weight/Height: Coming home from the hospital Mason was 6 pounds 8 oz. 19.25 inches

Hair & Eyes: Dark brown/Black hair, hairline is just like Daddy's with a cute little widow's peak

Diapers: Newborn or 1's folded over in the front going through 10-12 a day

Clothes: Newborn, which I had little of... thankfully Aunt Jackie had a few outfits on hand from cousin Bryson that we were able to borrow.

Eating: Breastfeeding, pumping and supplementing  formula every 2 hours during the 1st 2 weeks, vomiting almost after every feeding which landed us at CHOA since your weight dropped 5 oz in the 1st two weeks. After switching to Similac sensitive and giving Zantac twice a day you are keeping down formula. At two weeks you started taking 2.5-3 oz of formula every 3-4 hours.

Sleeping: Varies, you can sleep for 2 hours or 4-5 hours through the night. (Which we prefer!) During the day naps last from 1-2 hours between feedings.

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 ...
