3 Month Update

sparrowmomma24 · December 2013

Today marks 3 months since little Ellie passed. To be honest, life is amazing. I am reminded every single day just how blessed I was to have had her for as long as I did. She continues to amaze me each and every day in the little ways she still changes the world, even from heaven. I am reminded by the lady in the grocery store; by the couple at church who is fearful for the diagnosis of their little one; by the overwhelming purpose she served on this Earth before she could ever take a breath. I'm able to share her story (a way for me to remember her) with others who have also hurt, with others who have lost. Each and every day she reminds me that I have not lost. I am blessed in abundance by the love she has filled my heart with. And I am a better woman, a better person, and a better mother because of her.

Outside of that, things are going great. My job is going well. It's not a full time job, but I'm still working on that. it's hard over the holidays. I think my best option is to wait until after the first of the year and go for a full time job. It's just to hard to balance all the activities and schedules right now. My boyfriend is phenomenal and keeps me sane. He has been such a wonderful support and rock for me through everything. I'm so blessed that God has put him in my life. My weight loss isn't going too well. My birth control is causing some extreme fatigue which has made it impossible to exercise. To be honest, some days it's just hard to get out of bed. Luckily, my doctor thinks it's due to hormonal shifts with new birth control and post partum. Either way, I'm doing ok.

As we enter into the holidays, and all of the upcoming due dates... I keep each and every one of you in my thoughts and prayers. I ooh and ahh over all the new baby photos. I pray for easy deliveries and overwhelming success with every delivery plan as you step into the hospitals. I pray for the strength, determination, and incredible happiness that you will each possess with the birth of your child/children. Happy holidays to every single one of you and God Bless!

I wasn't around here when you suffered your loss but I just wanted to say that I will be praying for you and what you wrote was done so beautifully. What a great way to honor your little girl. I have no idea where strength like yours comes from. God bless you, your family, and Ellie.

HappyDoc · December 2013

So glad to hear that you are doing well, I am always happy to see a post from you! Happy Holidays!

sparrowmomma24 · December 2013

@megs12914 Welcome to the Jan 14 board since I didn't seen when you joined! If you joined us after my little Ellie's birth... well that was a crazy time for me and I wasn't always around much.

To the rest of you... your words are just so darn kind all the time. Sometimes I don't post much, especially if I'm having a "down" day. But I do get on here and say prayers for those of you struggling, worried, anxious... or whatever you guys are going through.

@aessary03 I find you all just as inspirational. And little Ozzy.. man I prayed for that little boy!! And what a dollface he is! I'm overjoyed for you.

@sarahmarie2 Please feel free to seek me out anytime. I do jump on here every other day or so. And if I AM having a "down" day... then I can just tell you ladies. You all have been such a source of strength for me. And I know that if I'm feeling useless I can lean on you all for support.
