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.

A Month



After spending the day unmotivated to leave the house, I finally noticed the date on my phone - April 30th. It's been one month since I gave birth to my son Nolan. A month in which everything seems a blur still. If Nolan would have been born when we last heard his heart beating at the doctor's office, he would be 5 weeks old today and alive. It's heartbreaking to think there might have been a way to save him, a way for him to still be here. But even all the advances medicine has made has not been able to save a baby from dying in the womb unexpectedly. If he had been out and had problems, they probably could have saved him.

I did manage to make it outside long enough to get the mail and I saw that our flower beds had bloomed overnight. Deep burgundy blooms popped up to remind me there is something beautiful for me to see every day, even if I don't leave my house.
