12 Weeks, Pregnant With Twins

ohh, i am so… so glad that the first trimester is basically over. i have never in my life been so tired all the time. i know i said that in the last post. but the person who is usually wired until 1-2am and willing and able to stay up…

I Miss My Babygirl

loki passed away peacefully on the morning of monday, february 29. in our backyard, on her blanket, wrapped in my arms, brett there beside us. it was one of the worst and best days of my life to date. i lost my best friend. i have been putting off writing…

4000 minutes, 15 months
