August 2014 Moms

Survived Monday (Previous Loss mentioned)

June 29, 2012 I went into labor at almost 16wks.
After many attempts to halt it, on June 30, 2012 Josiah and Jason were born, and passed away.

Its hard to believe its been two years, and that we will finally have our take-home baby!
Ive been on edge/anxious the last week, but surprisingly, I slept well last night. Better than Ive slept in months.
I kept busy at work today, and that made today a lot easier on me. We even had some good laughs (something I couldnt fathom ever doing on this day) when we our system went down, we lost our power, and then shortly after dinner, the front clasp of my bra gave out.

At dinner with all my coworkers, my boss gave a rememberance toast about the boys, and their impact on the group. Then we released balloons, something we started at their funeral.

This was the big milestone Id been dreading all pregnancy, and it turned out to be a good day.
I feel like I finally know that Im ready for Julianne to arrive!

Sorry for my long-windedness!
