I hadn’t planned on writing more on the subject of miscarriage, but I felt that my last post just left you hanging in the accident-on-the-side-of-the-road feeling with no resolution, no sign of improvement, and no hope for those who may be going through the same thing. So this is partly…
Last night I had nests of used tissues dotted around our house. I didn’t think I could cry that much. Today I am numb, though the tears spill back out as I recall flashbacks of yesterday afternoon. Miscarriage and loss of a yet to be born baby have hit…
UPDATE: I wanted to keep this post on the blog, as it is a post of joy and wonder as we announced a big moment in our lives as the H-G’s. However, we moved from joy to mourning the loss of Baby H-G3. You can read more details on my…

It’s 1:30 in the morning, and I’m loading a rubber snake and a plastic Parasaurolophus in the dishwasher after stripping a bed of wet sheets and blankets. I’ll be heading next to the baby’s room shortly to replace her pacifier and snuggle her back up with her blanket. This is…
My oh my how time flies. We had a wonderful weekend celebrating Eloise’s first birthday with family and close friends. I’ll spare you the words, and just share photos of our celebration. Happy Birthday, to our smart, independent, beautiful Eloise! We love you!
