I’m Not Brave – I’m Simply A Parent

May 20, 2020 Blog, Infertility & Loss

You keep telling me how brave I am. I know you don’t know what else to say to a loss parent. Sometimes I believe you. Sometimes I do feel brave. Sometimes you’re right.
You keep telling me how brave I am. I think I am too.

NIAW 2020 // Advocate Spotlight with Alys, Lori, Sara and Jenell

April 24, 2020 Blog, Infertility & Loss

NIAW 2020 // Advocate Spotlight with Maranda, Shauna and Amy

April 23, 2020 Blog, Infertility & Loss

You know what my favorite thing about #NIAW (National Infertility Awareness week) is? It is when someone shares out about their family building challenges and infertility for the first time. When someone says “I’ve been so scared of doing this for so long, but here it all is.” They let it out into the universe … View Post

Baby’s First Easter During a Pandemic (What is in my 5 months basket from around the house)

April 10, 2020 Blog, Family, Pregnancy & Infant Loss

Thinking back on my childhood, Easter was really something special. We weren’t a family that put on our Sunday best for the Easter Sunday service. Instead, we put our casual clothes on, grabbed a cozy sweatshirt and jumped in the car to head to our family cabin. At the cabin, we were greeted by aunts … View Post

This is what I wrote after that incredible day: The day is here! It’s time to tuck an embryo safely inside, hopefully to stay for … View Post

Ending 2018 with IVF

December 31, 2018 Blog, Infertility & Loss

We had many unsuccessful clomid rounds (the fertility gateway drug) and 4 failed IUI’s (Intrauterine insemination) and 2 cancelled IUI’s in this past year and have now arrived to IVF … View Post

Tuesday, October 29, 2019 // 37 weeks + 5 days pregnant: Plot twist!  What I thought was just a visit to triage to err on the side of caution, quickly escalated to “change into this gown, it’s time to have this baby!” If you missed Part 1 of B’s birth story, you can read it … View Post

Happy birthday, Adeline. Year five. The edges aren Happy birthday, Adeline. Year five. The edges aren’t as jagged anymore from day to day but when the waves come crashing, they still feel just as intense and heavy. You would have been the best big sister to Beckett. He points to the Angel in his room in the mornings and we say “good morning” everyday. He gave me a kiss from his “Addie Bear” at bedtime tonight. He knows. I’m just so angry I can’t watch the two of you grow up together. We all love you so much and miss you and wish you were here with us.

If you’re wondering if I’m emotional about tin If you’re wondering if I’m emotional about tiny, yellow rain boots (literally no one is wondering) the answer is YES. It’s one of those items I just couldn’t wait to buy.

B is downright obsessed with being outside and he will bring me my shoes and point to his rain boots so I’ll take him outside.
.
Then he grabs my hand and leads me outside. HEART. MELTS.
.
His hand in my hand, the tiny yellow rain boots, the smile and our joy when he is outside - I never want to forget these moments and how emotional they make me feel.

This is it. This is what I’ve always wanted. 💛
I have been on the verge of tears for a couple wee I have been on the verge of tears for a couple weeks.
.
We have been watching Kingdom on Netflix and there’s a late term pregnancy loss with some really, heavy grief scenes. 
.
It wasn’t the loss itself that knocked the wind out of me but the grief scenes - they were so raw and deep and painful.
.
And I went there, right away.
.
While I have more better and brighter days than dark and painful days now, those tender, griefy spots are and will always be right under the surface.
.
I then was unraveling at loss posts and I started beating myself up - where was this coming from? Why was it triggering more than usual?
.
Then I realized, it was almost February. And now here we are. It’s always near impossible for me to physically turn our wall calendar to February. 
.
I hate marking another year without our girl.

I miss her so so much.
19 more days. 🤍
