Day of Hope

Today is August 19th International Day of Hope, a day that was started 3 years ago to break down the walls on pregnancy/infant loss. Many people suffer in silence, and don't speak about their babies. Thankfully when it comes to my Isabella I am an open book. I know so many people are afraid to ask or bring her up, while I don't always like retelling my story, I appreciate when people sincerely want to know... not people being nosey, that happened a lot when we first met her, my inbox/friend requests went through the roof just people hoping that by stalking my page they could find out.


On the subject of Isabella, I would like to say I am so so proud of my amazing hubby, he has felt the need to be strong for far too long and held a lot in. And he is now taking the steps he needs to heal, it warms my heart :) he even came with me to my support group yesterday and opened up! It was nice too their was another guy there for him to talk to, because in this situation men and women grieve very differently. 


This week I helped my mom book her flight down here in November I am SOOOOOO excited, can't believe she is flying for the first time in over 30 years! All for me....well the baby and me hahah this is the longest stretch I have ever gone without seeing her, and I hate it as much as she does. Can't wait til 2013 and to move back home!!! I always used to dream of moving away from RI, but living away I realized I love my itty bitty state and I love that my entire family is all in one location! 


Oh and 29 weeks today!! This pregnancy is FLYING by!! I feel like just yesterday we found out, I can't wait to schedule my induction and can really start the countdown! I'm so glad he will be born  in October, it is the best month of the year to be born in ;) It's still funny to me I will have a little Texan baby, never in a million years would I have thought that especially coming from RI!!!


Well, that's all I got for now.....in honor of today I will Re-post my story, even though it is here on an older blog....*WARNING* it is sad, and for those of us who had to live it may make you really sad, but for anyone curious this is what happened, it helped me a lot to share my store...and remember to all my pregnant friends...KICKS COUNT AND ALWAYS TRUST YOUR GUT!!!!  xoxox
