WELCOME

Thanks for stopping by! Here I wrote openly about my life as a mommy to our miracle daughter Lilly, the struggles we went through on this journey to parenthood, the loss of our precious son and pretty much anything else that comes up. Feel free to look around, leave a comment or two, put your feet up and get comfortable :)

Telling Our Parents

Not long after we got our positives I went out to pick up two frames, I had something in mind for how we would announce to our families but kept struggling with finding the right frames. I was pretty ecstatic when I found them, at Winners, two frames that had three (4x6) photo openings and at the bottom it said Grandkids - perfect! I debated how I would fill the frames, since I knew we weren't going to wait until an ultrasound, eventually I decided I'd keep with the similar card style I used when I announced to Dyl (inspired from pinterest, if I ever find that pin again I'll link properly sorry!) and started to put things together.

Once arranged they looked pretty great but I was so anxious to give them to our families, despite knowing how wanted and loved our baby already was before conception I was so nervous to tell our families. Dyl encouraged me and we brought our wrapped little frame to our parents (mine that night after dinner, his the day after just before dinner), pretending it was some little random gift.


My parent's on their mantle, Dyl's parents have one just like it
It was so great watching our parents read over the frame as they processed the news; there were tears and screaming (both out of happiness and excitement obviously) and a lot of hugs - it was so great and I am so happy that everyone is as happy as we are. Now that it's out in the open I am praying even harder that nothing happens to our sweet pea. Our families have waited so long for this and after the last year we've all had this good news is so welcomed, please stay put little May baby we cannot wait to meet you. Everyone loves you so much.
