Press Play

Where exactly do I begin?

On January 10th, 2014, I gave birth to two beautiful boys.  Conner Timothy was born at 11:27, weighing 1 pound, 2 ounces and measuring at 11.5 inches.  Benjamin Michael was born at 11:43, weighing 1 pound, 2 ounces and measuring at a stocky 11 inches.  They were born after just 22.5 weeks of pregnancy, victims of an infection that only had a 1 in 10,000 chance of ending their short lives.

This blog is a testament to them and their journey.  Even though my babies are no longer with me, I feel the need to have their story be heard and go on.  I am still their mother.  This blog also chronicles my experiences and struggles on trying to move forward while still remembering my sons and including them in my life everyday.  I hope that this blog will help someone who has dealt with/is dealing with neonatal loss, infertility, or the like.  Its not the club we wanted to be in, but here we are ladies.  Maybe words can heal what time cannot.

Warning: I don't believe in censorship on blogs or memoirs of any kind.  I can't possibly be truthful and open without including my streams of thought that contain sarcasm and profanity.  Babies die.  Parents grieve. It gets sad. But I do promise that we find laughter and make future plans and all kinds of lighthearted things.
