Happy 3rd Un-Birthday, Olive
I have no doubt that you would have been mischievous and others would have to keep up with you. Your brief life is an example of that… we’ll catch up to you one day.
Happy Birthday Olive
Evie has been talking about you more lately and still insists you were her little sister and I think she’s right.
Healing in Preparation for Birth: Pt. 2
I had this lingering feeling that I need to close the chapter of grieving and mourning Olive in order for me to enter into my next chapter of mother to two living babies. I asked for feedback from my classmates, my sister, and mom and after a lot of conversations and deep-pit-of-my-soul-sobbing, it was finally brought to my attention that I still harbor so much guilt.

Rainbow Baby - Pregnancy After Loss
As a birth worker, and childbirth educator and currently pregnant with our rainbow baby I am sharing this from a place of personal experience of practical application.
Postpartum Care & Pregnancy and Infant Loss
Your employer/company should not consider pregnancy loss is as a vacation; any time-off taken for healing is bereavement time.
Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness
No one wants to talk about this - neither did I. Now that I am a bereaved mother I want to talk about it as much as possible so that others might learn from my experience. This is my attempt to bring awareness to pregnancy and infant loss in 2019.
I Know How You Feel…
“I know how you feel! I friend of mine, their sister had a miscarriage.” Yes, I have been on the receiving end of this statement.
Peace
Today would have been my estimated due date for our second baby... our baby "Olive".
Mother’s Day 2018
To the women that are yearning to be mothers, I cry with you today. To the mothers that have lost a precious babe either in the womb or after birth, I mourn with you today. I see you and pray that you know you are not alone.
Our Precious Baby “Olive”
We cried we wept, we sobbed, we prayed, we praised, we read scriptures, and tried as best as we could to distract from our situation. After 5 long days, we finally had answers... I was no longer carrying our Thorpling #2, our “Baby Olive”.
