i remember this pic like it was yesterday. he had just made his way into the world. we all got settled on the bed, and my midwives cleaned him off, swaddled him {which he never liked}, and placed him in my arms. it was an amazing feeling, and i remember just staring at him for the longest time in disbelief. it really didn't click until i had him in my arms. i mean, i knew i was pregnant {i had the tests to prove it}, and i felt someone in my tummy, but it wasn't until i saw his face that it made everything "real." yep, he was real, and he is mine. and though he's no longer here with us. the love still remains...

I think of you often. Thanks for sharing. I recently shared your blog with a friend who has found strength in your words. Thank you. Tanashia
Such a cute picture! Much love
((hugs)) ♥ Thank you for sharing Juju with us.
Sending lots of love and prayers. ♥
Aw, I love the expression on his face in that one.
Sweet boy! Thinking of you!
Such a beautiful boy... and yes Tiff, our love for him remains. <3
Yes - I think the missing gets worse in a way. At first I was just concentrating on breathing, getting through the minutes and days. Then it hits you that you are never, ever going to see them again. It's hard. You don't let your children go though - you still love them just as much, irrespective of whether they are alive or dead. xx
I remember that picture so well! Sending so much love and hope that you find the strength you need as the 4 month milestone of his death approaches. He is remembered and loved by so many people all over this world ((hugs))
I love his expression...he certainly doesn't look like he enjoys being swaddled. Thank you for sharing this photo!
Beautiful boy...
This will always be one of my favorite pics. I remember you sharing it for the first time.
