Due Date


Welcome to 2013.....2013, the year we were so excited to become parents, have a family and welcome our daughter Madison into the world.
When you first find out your "due date" the day is forever engraved in your mind, your body, and your soul. You tell everyone the date and circle every calendar that you own. You count down the weeks until your due date and say it countless times as it's usually the first thing someone asks you when they find out that you're pregnant.
 For us January 10, 2013 is that date.
There is no guarantee that she would have actually been born on this exact date, but as this date gets closer I can't stop wondering when her actual date of arrival would have been. 
January 10th, it seemed like a lifetime away when I saw my first positive pregnancy test on May 4th 2012. I have to say that the 32 and 1/2 weeks that I was pregnant flew by very quickly.... and here we are now into January and I feel this empty feeling inside as I know we should be anxiously awaiting Madison's arrival.
Madison, I see your face every morning when I wake up, I see your name everywhere I go.
I'll love you forever.

"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 ...

9 Weeks!

How far along? 9 weeks! I cannot believe how fast the weeks are flying by. Total weight gain: 1.5 lbs Maternity clothes? not yet... but finding it hard to wear some of my work pants! Stretch marks? NO.  trying to prevent them by lathering up after the shower. Sleep:  sleeping ok- but not wanting to get out of bed in the morning Best moment this week:   Hearing baby's heartbeat at my 9 week ultrasound, 160 bpm! It was amazing and I am glad my mom was able to share the moment with me. Miss Anything? A frozen mango margarita :( Movement: .. no Food cravings: Green apples and string cheese,  Starbucks panini... Roasted tomato with mozzarella and pesto sauce, YUM! Anything making you queasy or sick: Smells in the car, fumes Gender: not yet! Labor Signs: No Symptoms: overall feeling pretty great! Very hungry in the morning. Belly Button in or out? in Wedding rings on or off? on Happy or Moody most of the ...

An Angel Above

My sweet sister-in-law shared a beautiful letter with me that she wrote to Madison. I know the words came right from her heart. I cannot express how much it means to me that our beautiful baby touched her life in the way that it did and I am so thankful to have her in my life She wanted to post it to her blog with my permission, which of course I gave. Here's a link to her post dedicated to Madison, Mike and I: An Angel Above
