The Firsts

Today is September 25.  It's the last "first" with our boys.  The day we said goodbye to Sammy.  The day I held my little boy while he took his last breath...while his heart beat for nearly 20 minutes after he stopped breathing.  My miracle baby who held on long enough to make me actually feel like a mom...if even for just 3 short weeks.

Bringing it all back

This weekend, while I was celebrating my best friends' wedding, some of my good childhood friends were going through what Cam and I went through last year.  A scary delivery, a NICU stay, and losing their son.  It brings back so much hurt....knowing that someone I knew before, not because of, my loss is dealing with the same things.

Discouraged

There is no better word to describe how I feel right now.  For those who we did not share this with, we have been waiting for the past 4 weeks to hear whether a birth mother who was shown our profile chose us.  We were contacted by our agency for the FIRST time in 6 months with an opportunity.  The birth mom seemed like a great match and we had our profile shown to her.
