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.

36 weeks 4 days


This morning was my hopefully last ultrasound at MFM. My friend Shea had asked me if she could go with me this morning as she had never been to an ultrasound before so I agreed. They did a growth measurement on the baby today and he was 6lbs 10oz! They said again that he is long so I'm hoping that means he is long and skinny! He passed his BPP test with flying colors and everything looked great. We were able to spend a bit more time watching him this morning as we had a student ultrasound tech at first who went through everything and then her trainer came in and redid all the same tests. Didn't bother me at all to get to watch the little guy longer than usual. I think Shea was a bit overwhelmed by it all.

After my ultrasound I came home and did some work around the house. I rearranged some stuff in the nursery and put up another shelf above the closet door. I also managed to go to Zumba class this evening at Babs but was pretty spent after that so after a shower I spent the rest of the evening watching TV and knitting. So far I have managed to make two days this week go by pretty quickly. Now if only the rest will so Friday gets here as soon as possible!
