Well, we've officially made it to our 2nd major milestone of 28 weeks! Baby boy is kicking away and doing great! But it feels a little bittersweet to be honest, as I get closer and closer to the due date, I can't help but think more and more of our sweet little baby that we lost. I look ahead 10 weeks and wonder what the birth day will be like, will it be mostly happy with a little bit of sadness, bittersweet, difficult or pure joy? I'm sure it will be a mixed bag of emotions, that's for sure. We met with a birth plan counselor today who helps parents in similar situations deal with their emotions, questions, and helped us form a birth plan for when that day arrives (most likely late July or early August). She was extremely supportive and caring, we're both so glad we met with her, she really helped calm our nerves, was able to answer our questions and provide much needed guidance at this time. But man oh man, it was REALLY difficult to talk about it, that's for sure. But she said that moms who cry are good moms so I can definitely check that one off the list! I've been trying so hard to focus all my positive energy into baby A and keeping him safe and sound, the other stuff kind of slipped away for a little while. But Aaron and I feel it's really important to keep a positive attitude, while at the same time acknowledging all that's happened and like I always say..."just keep swimming"!
Here's a photo of Aaron and I from our maternity photo shoot that we did Mother's Day weekend with Ben and Emilie (they are due June 30!!!), it was such a fun day! Thank you Wink Photography!
Love you all and thank you so so much for your continued love and prayers :) xoxoxoxo
