I have never commented on your blog before...Rachel,<br />I have never commented on your blog before, or at least I don't remember that I did. I'm not sure when I found your blog either. Sometime last year probably. I relate to a lot of what you have written about lately. I have two boys, age 4 1/2 and 3 1/2, and we lost our third child, our only daughter, Amelia, to stillbirth at 36 weeks, on Mother's day last year. We are expecting our fourth, a boy, on August 6th - (c-section date). I'm not sure why I have never left a comment before. Your daughter, Felicity, is beautiful.<br /><br />Your post about "three boys - wow" is something I can relate to. They are making small talk, and being friendly, and I wish I could always tell them about Amelia with a smile. I battle with mixed feelings about who and when to tell about Amelia. Sometimes I just smile and say, "yup, three boys"... and leave it at that. My heart can't take it at that moment, to be open and honest about our precious baby girl. Maybe someday it will be easier.<br /><br />I admire your bravery :)<br /><br />I am nearing 34 weeks with this little miracle, and I am anxious about the emotions that a new baby will bring. I am so ready to hold him, and to share a living, breathing, cooing baby with Owen and Everett. Owen was a few months short of being 4 last year when Amelia died. He understood a lot more of the gravity of the situation than Everett, and when I talk about Amelia today, he still gets quiet. That is what I am looking forward to the most. He is such a tender-hearted boy, and will love this new little man. <br />I pray that your day (sounds full :) goes well, and that you enjoy your holiday weekend with all of your precious men. <br /><br />Thank you for blogging. <br /><br />Your sister in Christ,<br />SherriSherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01403560567061886014noreply@blogger.com
