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.

Wiggle Room

Marshall and I got up early so he could finish packing and we could have some time together before he had to leave to head to Charleston. Once he was all packed up, we went to Jason's Deli to grab some lunch as I was craving a good salad to jump start my healthy eating resolution.

We stopped by Target afterwards to pick up some stuff I needed. When we were done there we still had 30 mins before Aussie Island opened so we went to Marshall's to do some shopping. I found some stuff for the baby and Marshall was actually okay with me buying it because it was all on clearance and really great prices. We bought him a Panther onesie for football season next fall and a Hurley jacket and jeans. I also found a couple of newborn layettes that I had been wanting.

After stopping by Aussie Island, we went back home and Marshall packed up the car to leave. He gave JoJo a bath before leaving since I wasn't able to bath her with the medicated shampoo she requires. Marshall said goodbye and headed out to Charleston. I started washing some of the baby clothes. I've been trying for several days now to capture the baby moving around on video unsuccessfully. Well, this afternoon I finally caught the little guy moving around on video. Its the one thing I never thought to do with Nolan, so I wanted to at least grab a bit of it with this baby. Of course, this little guy seems to be much more active all day (and night) long so it made it a bit easier to actually capture some of his wiggling on video. It was fun to send it to Marshall and some of our family and friends and to see their responses. I think most of them were amazed at how big his movements were. Seeing his movements so big makes me realize how little wiggle room he actually has in there.
