Uncharted Territory: Week 30 - PAL Journey

Week 30 - PAL (Pregnancy After Loss) Journey        Fourth Pregnancy. Fourth Baby. Fourth Journey.   This is the longest I've ever been pregnant and it petrifies me.  Feeling the kicks, hiccups, rolls, punches is the best feeling in the world. Baby reminds me they're here and living their best life.  But, trauma also reminds me that it can be taken at any moment in time. Just last year I felt bliss, peace and felt like I was there. Just a couple weeks til I met my first-born son. Then, in the blink of an eye, it was all ripped from my arms.  How can I possibly hope again? Check out my older blog post Wavering Faith for deeper thoughts on finding my hope again. It was posted days before we found out we were expecting Baby E! 💛

She's Here! - Evie's Birth Story ✨

  Evie's Birth Story After everything we have been through, the greatest gift the Lord gave me was an "easy" pregnancy. Now, I put quotation marks around easy because, in theory, it was easy.  I was considered high risk due to my son's stillbirth ( Luca's birth story ), so we received extra appointments, extra tests, extra ultrasounds, extra monitoring and all the extras we could receive to bring babygirl earthside. Starting at 32 weeks I began the consecutive appointments, starting with a growth scan that showed me my babygirl's sweet face! I did NSTs (non stress test), BPPs ( biophysical profile ultrasound) and growth scans twice a week and an additional appointment for gestational diabetes and growth conversation with my MFM (maternal fetal medicine - high risk) doctor. As you can imagine, it gave me a sense of control and peace that I was doing the absolute most I could possible do for my girl. My perfect babygirl at 32 weeks 💜 Evie had been measuring a...
