Today is the one year anniversary that we lost our precious daughters, Hannah Rose and Mikayla Anne. It is amazing to me how fast a year flies and was surprised when I woke up with such an empty feeling. I thought that I had dealt with everything and was past the grief, but I guess as a parent, you will never really get over the loss of your children, even if the loss was during your pregnancy. Even though we never got to experience the joys of parenting Hannah and Mikayla, we miss the girls they would have become and the ways in which they would have added to our family. Once again, I will be looking to Ethan today to put a smile on my face with his silliness and innocence. Knowing that I am carrying another baby is of some comfort as this child would not have existed if the events of our life had not occurred. I guess it is bitter sweet in a way but all in life happens for a reason and we are so excited to meet our newest addition. We are continuing to pray for a healthy and uneventful pregnancy. So far so good and we are still awaiting the big gender confirmation, we'll keep you updated.

I am totally thinking of you today! I can't imagine how you feel but please know that I am here for you. You are a great person, parent, and friend. I am sure that things will go smoothly with your new little someone. Ethan is such a sweetheart and will easily keep you smiling today. If you want I can tell you more weird things about me so you can laugh :) Remember you are loved!!!!
You are ALL in my thoughts and prayers today. Mikayla and Hannah were thought of many times on the East Coast this week. Lots of love to you!
