• On Adoption and Losing One’s Self During Pregnancy

    By Sharon at SheWorships As I have shared in previous posts, I am thrilled to be pregnant and granted the blessing of creating new life, but this journey has also presented me with unexpected challenges. Although I’ve had a relatively easy pregnancy physically, I did not expect the bodily cha…
  • <3 Baby K is a... <3

    That's right! We're having a baby boy!!! <3 I cannot describe how much I already love our little man. Our anatomy scan this afternoon was incredible, Josh was able to be there and as soon as we saw our little guy up on the TV, his hand was on my shoulder and I could do nothing but squeeze it…
  • Baby photography for a friend

  • Why I Didn't Marry my Baby's Father

    The story of how I got pregnant is a pretty long one. I was 23. It was my first year back in Holland (Texas) from the University of Michigan, and I wasn't feeling too great. Job searches were fruitless. My mother was terrorizing me for my time wasted in Ann Arbor when I could've gone somewhere clo…
  • First Rant Post *yay*

  • Goals Before TTC

    I am currently looking forward to a "dream vacation" trip with my hubby this month, and I'm feeling really thankful that our travel plans are not affected by a pregnancy or possible pregnancy. We have some friends who decided to get pregnant 6 months after getting married, and they're squeezing in a…

It's been 2 weeks and 4 days since I lost my son at 23 weeks 3 days Born 4/21/2012 at 248am 15.5oz. It hurts so much to know he will neve…
