New Year's Resolution...

...is trying to do a much better job with my blog. I really want to have things going on with Brynn documented so I know what's normal when I go through this a second time... Whenever that may be!

Holy talking machine! Brynn is non stop, talking in sentences, and is pretty easy to communicate with. She tells me about her day, and she is just a doll. The last 3 days have been much better... With her being healthy finally! We just celebrated her 2nd birthday and unfortunately she was still not quite herself.

I'm on my iPad and hate typing on here but just wanted to post, but I'm gonna keep this short. Today marks 3 years since I delivered Elizabeth. 3 years. All day today I have had mixed emotions, and replayed many of the most vivid moments of that experience in my mind. I have had some great friends reach out to me today, and that meant more than they probably know. My awesome father-in-law brought us a bouquet of beautiful tulips that just light up the room. Dan and i do a couple of things in honor of Elizabeth ourselves, but I like to keep them private.

I just wanted to log on, and acknowledge my baby in heaven, since that was what began my blogging journey. My pregnancy with her. It also then continued to help with my process of healing, as well as documenting my journey with Brynn. Elizabeth, you are not forgotten. You are loved, will be continued to be loved, and Brynn will know that she has a sister in heaven.

For those of you who are close to me, or aren't, but have someone who has gone through a similar experience... Here is a great piece of advice.
"If you know someone who has lost a child and you are afraid to mention them because you think you might make them sad by reminding them that they died, they didn't forget that they died. You're not reminding them. What you're reminding them of is that you remember that they lived, which is a great gift." - Elizabeth Edwards
