23 weeks and 3 days

It's hard to believe that I am 23 weeks and 3 days with our second daughter. It's a sensation hard to describe...I wish Zoe was here, but at the same time this baby wouldn't be here if she was. I am so thankful we are moving forward, even if it seems like the the days are dragging by.

For now..here are some pics

Little Miss Mirth 22 weeks and 4 days

    You look so adorable. I am glad everything is going well so far with Miss Mirth. It is such an unexplainable feeling to be expecting your second daughter when your first is not here, and the 2nd wouldn't be here if the first was. I just don't think that is something people can wrap their heads around it is a happy/sad place to be all at the same time.

    Hello Kate, Bree, sent me!! :) I am 21 weeks and a day right now and pregnant with my rainbow boy. I lost my son at 18 weeks last summer due to possible IC and Factor V Leiden. I am scared as all heck, but trying to take each day one at a time. I'll be popping in from time to time to say hi :) *hugs*

    You look gorgeous, mama! I like your latest mantra, to trust your body and believe. Baby Mirth is looking so sweet and snuggled in--I just know she's going to stay put until 37 weeks, at least!

    Happy belated anniversary.
    :)

Seraching for balance...

Wow...I have been a seriously slacker...again. I write on a private blog for River for family, but I find myself writing on here less and less. This blog helped me heal and grow through my grief...but I also know I am never truly healed. Zoe's loss will always be with me. These days I find myself struggling with balance in my life. I seem to be all over the place. After we lost Zoe I was searching to fill the void in my life. At the time, I thought getting a puppy would help distract my mind...it did. The following year we rescued a second dog. Now here we are with a 9 month old and 2 very high energy dogs. I have an extremely difficult time managing our husky, despite how much I love him. I feel like my priorities shifted in such a huge manner...I don't have the time I once did to attend to his needs. I feel like such a terrible dog owner, but at times I feel like it may be time to find Sawyer a new home. He is such a sweet, loving pup...but his energy level is OFF THE HOOK....

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...
