raw truth

kathlyn was conceived one year ago this week. im not sure of the exact day. but i know it was sometime this week. and it was purposeful. i saw a baby's picture frame in a store the other day that said "all because two people fell in love". and john and i were definitely in love this week last year more than once. and that is why i cant pinpoint the exact day she became part of our lives. but it was this week.

so much for that.

so therefore here comes all the "one year since" this and that. the day we found out, the day of the first ultrasound, day of finding out it's a girl, day her high tech ultrasound checked out healthy despite the two vessel cord, day of the baby shower, days in the hospital for extra monitoring, day we first found out she was breech, days of our birthing class, day of the version, the list goes on, i have all those dates etched inside my memory. dont believe that i, with my pregnant brain, remember all those dates exactly? hah. you dont know me very well then. go ahead. try me.

i really, really hate the universe, and i hate my body and my worthless good memory.

  2. Sending you love, Beth. I'm so sorry Kathlyn's not here with you instead of watching over you. It's crazy and sad and unfair that you only had her with you that little while. But you're right: She was conceived in love and so much wanted. She knows that. Big (((hugs))).
