Yesterday was a very emotional but good day. We went up to Mass General Hospital to their Annual Pediatric Memorial Service which was beautifully done. Some of the staff from the NICU attended, and it was nice to see them again. They really became an extension of our family during our stay there, and I will never be able to express how much I appreciate all they did. Being back at the hospital brought back so many overwhelming emotions, but I was very glad we went. I plan on going back up after ...

I went in to see my doctor today to go over the ultrasound results and for a check. Everything went well! Makayla has been active all day. I go in for blood work in a few weeks to check for gestational diabetes and for a platelet check. Hopefully those will come back in an acceptable range, if my platelets go any lower I may have to deliver c-cection which I would really prefer to avoid. Every good appointment is helping me breath a little easier so lets hope they keep happening! :)

Uggghhh, Well I am officially the biggest sucker around. This weekend at work really sucked. I have been trying to cut back my hours to 4 days a week but it just isn't happening and I keep being pushed into 5 days. This week I agreed to work the 5 days if I had 2 half days. Well the half days were ok, but then this weekend I ended up working 9 hours yesterday and 11 hours today so how is that really cutting back. I am sitting here swollen, sore, tired and frustrated! We were so busy these last two ...

First I want to say a big thanks to all of my friends and family. Everyone has been wonderful letting me know that they are there for me lately and it means the world to me. I really appreciate all the love and support.

Today we went in for our second level 2 ultrasound. We got to see Makayla moving around and saying hi. She is growing on target and everything still looks perfect. They estimate her weight at 1 lb 3 oz which is the normal range. We got another good picture of her ...

I miss Gabe. I miss him every second of every day. I miss the dream of our happy little family. I miss being naive. I always had this dream of our family. The simple typical dream. Two carseats in the back-a boy and a girl. In my dream they always had names-Gabriel and Makayla. I am so happy about being pregnant with Makayla, but I feel robbed. It is bittersweet knowing that I will be having this beautiful girl-but she will never know her special brother. It's hard to know that I have to live ...
