I am Elijah's mommy & we found you through "Joshua's Story". Just want you to know you will be in my prayers. That your broken heart will be saturated with the love and overwhelming peace that you need right now!
I can in no way imagine what you are going through but I want you to know that you are a strong women. I don't know if I could have the strengths, courage & faith that you have presented during this hard time & be able to care for my family the way you do.
Good morning! Oh yes, I know what you mean, I so miss being pregnant and feeling Tristan kick inside of me, knowing he was alive - that's a wonderful feeling. And yet not to have the big belly or your precious baby is doubly hard. I have been thinking about that the last few days because we went to Babies R' Us the other night to buy a baby gate for Tayden's room and all the mommies either had big bellies with BIG smiles or they had new babies and they were so excited. As we were leaving I just brushed my hands across the clothes and told my husband, "Oh I miss this stuff!". That night laying in bed the tears came as I looked back realizing again that my "baby" journey was over - it came and went soooo fast.
I love the look of your blog - I guess we all needed a change, huh!
I am so thankful for Mya and Dominic's report cards because I know that was originally a concern but they did it and I know you are so proud of them.
I'm here if you ever need to talk. I pray for you and your family everyday sweet friend.
My heart is so saddened for you! Please know that I continue to pray for you and your family! Continue to look to God for peace, comfort and strength! Thankyou for sharing your heart and story! You are being used by Him, I'm sure! God Bless You!
I can absolutely understand your pain. Though I was not able to carry my babies completely to term, I lost my third child at 17 weeks...the not having the belly, and no baby to hold is heart wrenching!
Praying for the pain and void that you feel. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. May God be with you and help you through such a painful time.
I haven't left many comments for your page but I have followed yours and many other of these sweet babies stories of T18 which I never knew existed before. I pray for many of these mommies and I am just amazed at the strength you all show. Letting me see the hard times, also shows how strong you are. I was awake early in the morning today (like 3am) and you are who God put on my heart to pray for. I cannot even fathom the pain and loss. Your Eva is beautiful and I love all the pictures you have shared. May God hold you throughout the day and night.
I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet baby girl. She was a little beauty! I cannot imagine what you are feeling, but please know that I will pray for you and your family as you find a new normal.
I too understand. I lost my baby girl 7 months ago to anencephaly (a fatal birth defect). We only had her with us for 2 hours, but I am so thankful for that time. I am so sorry for your pain and I wish I could make it better. Thinking of you, Shannon
If this is your first time to our blog please click HERE to start from the beginning. (Once you click the link scroll all the way down to the bottom and work your way up).
Blessed mom of 7 ❤️ Dmitri 6.2015, Divino 9.2013, Deluca 10.2011, Dante 2.2009, Eva 3.17.08 (on 3.23.08 @ 2:57 AM ~ Eva went from my chest to the arms of Jesus), Mya 7.2000 & Dominic 5.1996. Eva, the 5th member of our family, was a true blessing from God for 5 days, 18 hrs and 10 minutes. At 13 wks of pregnancy, she was diagnosed with full Trisomy 18. And need I not forget Vinnie, father of 4 of my children, my best friend of 18 yrs, and my ROCK throughout it all. He has been nothing but supportive throughout the entire storm. I couldn't imagine going through this w/ anyone but him. Eva has changed our lives forever. I praise God for Eva and am thankful and grateful for every second we shared w/ her. I will cherish those memories forever. Until we meet again Eva. Mommy loves you! While in Atlanta, 6.27.08, surrounded by my "blog girls", is when I found out that we were expecting Dante. Our due date was 3.6.09, 11 short days before Eva's 1st birthday. My prayers after saying good-bye to Eva were more like begging God for new life. Then, I was still begging God…for a perfect, healthy baby that would get to come home and outlive me. I hope to never bury one of my children EVER again.

Yeah Chrissy, I'm with you. I fit into my old (pre Oceana) bras today... the first time in nearly 3 years I haven't been pregnant or nursing...
I miss it...
I love how I look pregnant (look, not feel!). And now that I'm slimming out, I should have a baby in my arms. Right?
Chrissy-
I know how deeply you miss her. Praying for your heart and the love you feel for her to continue to shine through you!
Love you,
Kenzie
