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.

Happy New Year!

Good riddance 2012! I hope I can safely safe that 2012 will always be the worst year of my life. I can't imagine having a worse year and I hope I don't ever have to see what would possibly be worse than losing my baby boy. I'm looking forward to a much better year this year as we will hopefully have a healthy baby boy sometime in March!

We went out to grab some lunch, but found most of local places were closed today so we finally settled on Kickback Jack's. I had a steak since apparently it is one of my favorite things to eat with this pregnancy. I would probably eat it more often if I knew how to grill steaks myself. Afterwards we went to the mall to do some shopping but it was sweltering hot in there. I was glad Marshall was hot too as I was beginning to think it was just me suffering from pregnancy hot flashes. We didn't find anything we wanted so we left to head somewhere cooler. By the time we left the mall, it was time to head to my Mom's for dinner. We had the traditional new year's meal of pork chops, black eyed peas and collard. Yum. While we were there Marshall fixed my Mom's ceiling light and then we headed home. It was a pretty good start to the new year. The baby was moving and kicking all day long which is always good news. The more he moves, the less I worry so I hope he continues to keep wiggling up until the second he comes out. Even if it does mean I won't get a wink of sleep between now and then!
