7/11

Our computer is having issues and I can't upload any pictures (GRRRR) so as soon as we get it fixed I will have to add them in.

____________________________________________________________________

I didn't want to let this day go by without writing a few thought and feelings, about this day. Today marks 1 year since our little Danny was born. I was looking back out my blogs from a year ago and there was not a single mention of him or of being pregnant. And even though I felt that my feelings were too private to written in a blog post, I still feel guilty that there is absolutely no mention of him anywhere. (Thank goodness I write in my journal occasionally.) Anyway, today has been a special day for me to just be grateful for the time that Kory and I got to spend with him. He wasn't born alive and he was only developed 20 weeks but he was perfect and all of his parts were there, just not completely developed. His little eye lids were still fused shut and his skin was translucent but he was a complete baby. I can't help but be so thankful for the nurses that were there(Kory's mom included) that treated him like a real live baby and let me treat him just like I treated my other newborns. They weighed him, measured him and dressed him and then they let me hold him and sleep with him and keep him as long as I wanted. Even though we were heartbroken over him, I am SO SO thankful for the time I got to be with him.

And now here we are 1 year later and we are thankful to be expecting another baby! I love my pregnancies starting at about month 5 so until then you may hear a lot of whining and complaining from me. I'm sure Kory wont mind if I spread that around so it's not just him that is listening to me cry about how sick and tired I am of feeling sick and tired.
Anyway, we are excited to add another body to this chaos and thankful for the things that we have experienced and shared in this last year.

It's hard to believe that it has been a year since Danny was born. It is nice to have people who are so kind when life seems like it is turned upside down. I was glad that you had such great people taking care of you and your baby. I can't wait til the newest one is born. Maybe for a gift we can give you a puppy. I hear babies love puppies.

Congratulations on the new baby. I hope you start to feel better soon. I didn't realize that Danny and my son Alex share the same birthday. I am so glad to hear that you had such great people taking care of you during that time.

Thanks for the good cry. Brings back such difficult but spiritual memories. Glad to have such a positive (yet difficult 9 months) thing to look forward to. A new baby helps heal the hurt. Lots of love to you and your family.
