Full Circle

Brynn's birthday is January 11, 2011.  She was born exactly one year, to the date, of my ultrasound with Elizabeth discovering she was not going to live.  In one full year, I experienced the most devastating day of my life, and the happiest day of my life.

One year ago today, October 16, 2013, I thought I was miscarrying... Sad, but glad that's all it was.  My world was flipped upside down when I received a phone call from a nurse telling me they are pretty sure I'm having an ectopic pregnancy... I needed to come in immediately.  I no longer was just miscarrying and my body could deal with this loss on its own... I was at St. John's hospital, heading to the cancer treatment facility, to terminate my ectopic pregnancy.  Here I am, once again, full circle, one year later, awaiting the arrival of my second baby.  The timing of these experiences is just so crazy to me.  I am so thankful I met my Dr. while experiencing my ectopic as well... She is amazing.

I have not had an easy road, and people who don't know what I've experienced make comments all.the.time when I tell them I am done after this.  They say "you'll need to try for a boy!"  No.  I hopefully will have two beautiful, healthy, baby girls in my arms tomorrow, and that's sounds perfect.

I know there are people who've experienced a lot worse than I have, as well as others that can't imagine experiencing what we've been through-- that's where I was 5 years ago.  I am the mother I am to Brynn and to our no-name daughter :) because of my experience and time with Elizabeth. ❤️

I can't wait to update you all on the birth of our baby girl!
