Nolan Eason

At 1:03AM on Friday, March 30, 2012 my first child was born - a son. We named him Nolan Eason. 21" long, 5lb 3oz. He was beautiful and perfect in every way, except that he was stillborn. As we searched for answers to his untimely death, we also searched for comfort. This blog was created as a way of working through my sorrow by trying to find something beautiful in the world each day. Hopefully, along the way it will help others to heal as well.

Boppy Pillow Comfort

During my pregnancy with Nolan, my husband bought me a maternity Boppy pillow which I snuggled with religiously. After Nolan was born, I continued to snuggle with it for a week. While I no longer used it to cradle my swollen belly, I used it for comfort and support to my aching body. Once I felt stronger, I tossed it to the side of the bed. Tonight, my dog Buster has put it to a new use as he decided it had been discarded long enough that he could now lay claim to it himself. As Marshall and I prepared for bed, I found Buster curled up on the floor by my side of the bed with his head propped up on the Boppy pillow. Perhaps it is now bringing him comfort as I know both of our dogs have sensed the sadness that has come over both Marshall and me.
