I have a son. He was born kicking and screaming on February 7th, 2009. I loved him so much that day that I first met him. I love him still, five years later. I revel in him, I delight in him, I thank God for him. My love has not lessened since I first met […]
Our family has been enjoying our little Nora so much lately. She is probably the happiest, most laid back baby I have ever encountered. It’s almost like she KNOWS how amazing it is that she’s alive and she enjoys being with us so much. My mom said the other day, “She just doesn’t seem REAL.” […]

Welcome to my blog. It is terrifying to write a blog, especially one about the most personal thing in your life. I now have so much admiration for anyone who has put themselves out there and started a blog. I originally started writing this to chronicle our journey through grief and IVF and surrogacy. It […]

I am now 19 weeks pregnant, exactly how far along I was when I lost my Lucy Dair. It is a sad benchmark to reach, but wonderful at the same time because Nora is ALIVE! I know exactly what Nora would look like outside of the womb this week. Perfectly formed in every way, just […]

A few weeks ago Liam asked me what his baby sister’s name was. I spelled it out for him “N-O-R-A, can you remember what that spells?” And he said, with frustration in his voice, “No, Mom, not Nora, my other baby sister.” My heart dropped and I said, “Lucy, remember? She’s in heaven.” And he […]
I am now 31 weeks pregnant and still in disbelief. At least once a day I have a surreal moment where I see myself in the mirror or I see “31 weeks 1 day” at the top of the ultrasound picture or I realize that it’s JUNE and I’m still pregnant and I catch my […]

On days like today I usually decide not to post anything on the blog because it’s depressing, but today I am because it is real. On days like today everything reminds me of her. I still cannot believe she is gone. I’m shocked when I find myself buying tampons. I shouldn’t be buying tampons. The […]
