What a difference a year makes.


May 31, 2011
8:30 am we were on top of the world.
We were at our 12 week appointment waiting to hear our sweet baby’s heartbeat.
We were 12 weeks 5 days.

9:04 am we felt as if our worlds had ended.
We were devastated to learn that our sweet baby was no longer with us.
We were sitting in our truck trying to figure out how we would move on.
How would we tell our family and friends and most importantly how would we tell Emma?

We had already shared our excitement with so many.
We had already seen our little gummy bear.
We had already heard our baby’s sweet heartbeat at 8 weeks.
We were broken.

 Here is our little baby at 8 weeks last year. The little baby we lost.

May 31, 2012
We are 37 + weeks.
We are celebrating my last day of work before maternity leave.
We are eagerly awaiting the birth of our sweet little Elle.
We are so ready to be a family of four.
We can’t wait until Emma meets her little sister.
We count our blessings every day.


We may still feel broken at times,
but now we have something to celebrate.
