Mother's Day



Mothers' Day, The day was one that I was at first dreading but was insistent on making it a positive day.  We spent the day with family, doing what we do best... eating! Sister cooked a wonderful brunch in her new home.  It was nice to have her do the entertaining!  I received a beautiful Open heart necklace from Mike, it is an angel in rose gold with diamond wings.  I could not have asked for anything more beautiful.  Mom and Dad gave us a touching gift as well, they had a photo of Madison's feet etched in a glass block, I have to say her feet in the glass, they look so real to me, it is 3d like and when the light hits it just right it is amazing.  Mom In Law gave us a beautiful solar powered outdoor chandelier with a beautiful meaning behind it, that when the lights come on it is to remind us of Madison and her light.  All of these gifts are so meaningful and touched my heart beyond words.

























I thought of you and closed my eyes
And prayed to God today I asked, "What makes a Mother?" and I know I heard him say A Mother has a baby, This we know is true But, God, can you be a mother when your baby's not with you?
Yes, you can he replied with confidence in his voice
I give many women babies when they leave it is not their choice some I send for a lifetime and others for the day and some I send to feel your womb but there's no need to stay. 
I just don't understand this God
I want my baby here, he took a breath and cleared his throat and then I saw a tear
I wish I could show you
What your child is doing Here if you could see your child smile with other children and say 
"We go to earth to learn our lessons
of love and life and fear, but My mommy loved me so much I got to come straight here!" I feel so lucky to have a Mom who had so much love for me I learned my lessons very quickly
My Mommy set me free.
I miss my Mommy oh so much but I visit her each day
When she goes to sleep on her pillow is where I lay I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek and whisper in her ear
"Mommy, Please don't be sad today
I'm your baby and I am here" So you see my dear sweet one your children are okay your babies are here in My home and this is where they'll stay they'll wait for you with Me until your lessons there are through and on the day that you come home they'll be at the gates waiting for you, so now you see what makes a Mother, it's the feeling in your heart 
It's the love you had so much of
Right from the very start

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...

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...

Mason's Birth Story

March 13, 2014: Even though we knew that I was going in at 5:00 am the next morning for a scheduled c-section, the day couldn't come fast enough. It had been a long nine months and we could not wait to meet our baby boy. The night before the big day, Mike and I ate an early dinner at Outback Steakhouse since we knew it was going to be the last good "going out to dinner" we would have in a few days, or possibly weeks. We went home, packed for the hospital, loaded the car and tried to relax. We got a few hours of sleep the night before, maybe 2-3 to be exact but we were running on adrenaline at that point. March 14, 2014, 3:30 am: The morning the alarms rang loud and clear! Time to go. We hopped in the car and drove straight to Northside Hospital, check in was a breeze and before we knew it I was in a hospital gown getting prepped for surgery.  The time flew by, right up until 7:00am when it was time for the epidural. After a very long hour of testing for numbness it was ...
