Day 2 identity Moxie Katherine

Moxie Katherine my first born. She got her name from my late nights watching history channel while prego.  On one program they were talking about old sodas, and Moxie was one of them! I loves it! Katherine was after my great grandma. I loved the names, the meanings, all of it. When we found out she would be stillborn. I knew even more that she was that she would need that spunky sassy name!!!

Thoughts in my head

I lay in bed and watch your sister sleep. You are always in my mind.

I wonder when I next meet you if you will be young or have grown?

How do I make it without you?

I stare at your picture, I hold your urn.

I long to hold you and see you smile. 

I cling to your sister and know only you two have shared that space inside me. And somehow that means you are connected. 

First word blog

So my husband, myself, and our rainbow baby were walking into a store the other day. We pass another couple with a set of twins about the same age, 1ish.  The mother says "I will trade you two for one!"

She didn't mean anything by it, she didn't know me or my situation. But I started balling. And guess what that is okay! 

I would give anything to have both my girls with me. But a simple comment can affect you very deeply!
