#ORMBaby
It started with a shot. One year ago today, we woke up early to make it to the lab as soon as it opened. We needed one more blood test to get the go-head to start injections. It wasnโt the very start of our journey but it was a huge step. I remember pulling over on the drive home to watch the sunrise, it felt like a significant day. We were anxious, excited, scared and hopeful. And now exactly a year later, here they are. Perfect, ours and here forever, just had to start with that first shot.

This folks is a picture of pure grief. Little did we realize that as we talked to the nurse on one of the worst days of our lives our child was documenting every moment (and the floor, and his shoes, and himself ha ha). Today was a really hard day. I had found so much peace in the idea that our baby had a genetic malformation. Well today we got the official genetic report and it appears that everything was normal. So now we're just left here wondering "What in the world happened!?" "Why did this happen!?" "Why our baby!?" "What went wrong!?" And of course I'm trying so hard to not wonder if it was anything I did wrong. We also found out the gender, I can now say that I lost my little boy.
Today I experienced a huge wave of grief. It was the most emotional day since this picture was taken. Today was just hard.

So thankful for my husband who has been here for me in every capacity. Yesterday we went to the beach and got to spend the day together as a family. I wanted to capture a few images to remember this baby by. Andrew took these photos that I will cherish forever. Thank you again for all of the love sent our way. Everyday things are getting easier. We are ready for surgery Monday and ready to start moving forward. #secondtrimesterloss #misscarriage #ormbaby #Angel #Oregon #oregoncoast #canonbeach #lincolncooper #haystackrock #pregnancylossawareness #pregnancyloss #pregnancylosssupport #iam1in4 #1in4 #misscarriageawareness #misscarriagesurvivor #canon #canon70d #canon70dphoto #grievingmother #grievingmom #angelbaby #babyloss #babylosssupport #babylossawareness #babylossmamas #grief #griefjourney #grieving #oregonbeach
One year ago today we had a tiny little embryo thawed and put back inside me. We were cautiously optimistic that one day weโd get to meet our little girl. And now, 365 days later, that little embryo is our sweet, smiley Piper Lou and so much better than we ever dreamed possible. Our path to parenthood was rocky and full of ups and downs, but we never gave up and are so thankful every day for this sweet and beautiful girl! .
