What is a miracle baby? How pregnancy felt after a loss. Fear mixed with excitement. Hesitant to bond. Delayed labor.Stalled labor.Moving on

A year in summary after Leaf passed away. The hard, the beautiful parts, and some tidbits we learned about sitting in the mud puddles.

Men supporting men.How the early days felt.Local memorial service. Sweet words from others.Embracing the end of the journey, moving forward.

We left the city, and felt the mountains & the comfort of our sweet home calling us. Leaf's ashes found their home agains my chest.

The moments after your world falls apart. Shock. A trans. Falling apart. Luckily we had friends + family there to literally hold us together

How do you say goodbye to your baby? It's an impossible moment, but having a plan about the time we had with Leaf was very helpful.

The waiting was over... we were so ready to meet our little one. The home birth we wanted, but in the still of the night in the hospital.

While we wait to go into labor, we try to normalize the day to day, make memories, and enjoy the precious days and kicks we have with Leaf.

Waking up the day after our baby was diagnosed with Trisomy 18. Grey clouds. Creating a new normal & the lovely support of family + friends.

An unknown diagnosis...An offer to induce birth...Choosing to stay pregnant, even though we knew we'd lose our baby... Life is precious.

We stood in the unknown all weekend, rested at Brian's parents' house on the farm. Waiting and fearing what we'd learn on Monday.

The day things went south... Brian naively hunting while I was flown flight-for-life to Denver. And how this little community jumped in.

The summer of weddings, and the romance of being pregnant in the midst of it all.
