Our First House!


We are in the midst of buying our first home! We are both so excited. It is bittersweet for sure, because if Zoe were alive, I am sure we wouldn't be trying to move while I am 34 weeks pregnant. But, I am looking at it from a "new start" perspective. Now we have our very own home to raise our family, and bring our next little one home to from the hospital. Zoe would want this for us. This makes me very happy in our choice to cremate Zoe. I am so glad we can take her with us. We have discussed burying her, but we concluded we made the best choice for us. At least at this point in our lives. Anyway...I haven't posted a picture of the house yet because I don't want to jinx it or anything...but that is a bit absurd! :-) So here it is, a picture of our house! We are cautiously excited (we will feel better March 31st! We tend to attacked bad luck). We are closing on March 31st and Moving April 11th. We were going to move April 3rd, but this way we can take our time, paint and clean and do all the fun homeowner things! I already have plans in the works for a memorial garden for Zoe. Of course I will have to get a butterfly bush, since she is my little butterfly. (or as my mom and cousin Erica say, Zoefly! How cute!) Well, I will keep you updated!

I can't believe it happened to me!

Sometimes I am in complete awe that we have a baby. I am so in love with River and I feel very fortunate! River is a really good baby; She eats great, sleeps well, smiles tons and is easily comforted when cranky. I am really happy to have her here. On the flip side, I am learning all of the beautiful things I missed out with Zoe. Bath time, reading books, cuddling, smiling, cooing, bites of new foods, so on and so forth...the list could go on forever. I still battle with postpartum depression, but I do feel like I am coming out on the other side. My sad days are fewer apart. I still feel terribly guilty that I battle depression. We have tried so long and so hard for a baby that it seems selfish of me to be sad when we have a perfect baby in our arms. HOWEVER, it's not the kind of thing I can control. I still have a lot of depression related to nursing. It hurts me that it didn't work for me...sigh. But, River is super healthy and growing well and at the end of the day, SHE is t...

Our Rainbow!!!!!

Amazing...simply amazing. I am soaking up every moment. I am so thankful for our little girl. So...introducing River Zoelle Mirth 8 pounds, 11 ounces and 22 inches long!!! Labor was long, hard yet amazingly wonderful. 12 hours of labor and just over 3 hours of pushing (these are the things the docs don't tell you can happen!!!) But we did it!!! Our rainbow is finally here safely in our arms.

My Beta

So...my level today was 108!!! The nurse said that was a perfect, healthy number...not too high, not too low. Chances are good we have one little charm in there. Which is PERFECT. We won't know for sure until our u/s...but I have been thinking it's one...and a boy. I feel really connected to a little boy, and awhile ago, Zoe came to me in a dream and said we were going to get pregnant with one baby, a little boy, and things were going to be fine. :-) Sweet little baby of mine...comforting her momma even in spirit. It's strange to be pregnant right now...It doesn't feel real quite yet. It does, but it doesn't. I feel really secure about this pregnancy...almost at peace. I feel deep in my heart we are going to bring home a living baby. It's will be strange to be a mother of 2, one in spirit and one here on Earth. I love Zoelle so deeply, and miss her with each breath I take. I wish she was here to share in the joy of this new life. At the same time, the new life ...
