capture your grief day 14

Day 14. Family: What does you family look like now? Is it just yourself carrying your child’s heart in yours? Do you have other children? A partner? A pet? You may not have what society perceives as a family but we all know that just because you cannot see any children, that does not mean that they are not a part of your family.

You have all seen this pic already, but this is my family. This is the most recent picture of DH and I, and the little boy growing inside. I am really looking forward to a family photo, and including Elsie's bear in it to represent her.

These are the last photos we took as a family of four. My DH, my 3 y.o. daughter Mia, and me with Coraline in my tummy. They make me both sad and happy - I just remember being so happy that day.

This is a tough one today because I've been struggling with my family dynamics lately. I'm so thankful for dd and love dh tremendously, but we're going through a hard transition period right now and I don't care for him all that often. Side track. Sorry. It's just weighing heavily on me.

This is a picture we took at the farm down the road last weekend when we bought our pumpkins. I considered taking a picture with the three of us as well as the cat and dog and baby Gary's picture. I decided against it because even though I always carry him in my heart and he is certainly a part of our family, this is the family I have here with me now, my most important people. It kills me to even say that, but it's true and I'm a realist.

This is us now... Just without my sweet Mary. I know these pictures should make me happy but I have such a heart stopping reaction when I see them and remember that we have one little baby instead of two. When I see him, I think about how similar his twin sister would look right now and it continues to break my heart.

Day 14. Family:

My family now: Me, my fiancé, Domenik (in utero), and our "son" Jonah Moostache. This is our "Save The Date" invitations for our wedding coming in July 2014. In a conversation with my mother she said "do you still want to use the "save the dates" as they are or do you want to take new pictures?" I responded "of course I want to use them as they are, Domenik is still apart of this family, and he is still so important to us even though he is not here physically. I wanted him to be apart of the wedding, and this will he how now considering the circumstances."
