Merry Christmas!

Last night we read Twas the Night Before Christmas (with Jan Brett's illustrations) to baby boy. It was bittersweet because I knew we should have been reading it to Faith for her first Christmas Eve. We remember her today but are also thankful for the blessing of her little brother who will join us next year.

I totally forgot I made this blog until I came across it in some old bookmarks the other day.  I can't believe my last post was August 16,  2014 and it's now June 20, 2022, and Ryan is 9 years old. Boy have things changed. I need to take time to go through old pictures as he's been growing and post them. Right now Ryan's favorite things are baseball (he has been playing since the days of t-ball at age 4), Fortnite, and watching YouTube videos. He will start 4th grade at the beginning of August! He is such a sweet, kind boy, does great in school, and makes friends easily. (Not that he can't still have his moments, as any kid does.) For now, here are a few pictures. He recently got the glasses, which I love! Hopefully I'll write again soon.

Storm clouds may still hover but the rainbow provides a counterbalance of color, energy and hope. On September 28, 2011, I lost a daughter, Faith, to stillbirth at 21 weeks gestation. No cause was ever found. On July 18, 2012, I found out I was pregnant again. I am now 22w3d along with this baby boy, and I am praying he is our rainbow - our take-home baby. This blog is for him , documenting my pregnancy and his life! I will go back and publish posts for events and ultrasounds that happened up until now. We have a name picked out but have decided to keep it a surprise, so for the purpose of this blog, I will call him BB (ba...
