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.

The Last Goodbye

Today was Marshall's last Sunday saying goodbye to head back down to Charleston before he comes home for the birth of the baby. We met my Dad for lunch at La Costa before Marshall had to head out of town. It had been some time since Marshall had seen my Dad, so he wanted to spend some time with him before the baby came. We are still hoping that next weekend we will be able to be induced, but it all depends on the amnio results. After lunch, Marshall and I had to run a few errands before he had to pack up and head out. It was nearly 4pm before he got on the road - much later than he usually leaves.

This afternoon it finally decided to warm up some and the sun was out so after Marshall left JoJo and I enjoyed the warm weather by wedding out the front flower bed. Of course, all JoJo really did was wallow around in the grass and occasionally come and prance around in the dirt of the flower bed, but she kept me company and had herself a good time outside. I managed to get 90% of the flower bed weeded before my back was killing me from leaning over and I just had to stop. It was also starting to get dark so I headed inside and spent the rest of the night knitting. I finally managed to finish the baby blanket that I had started when I was pregnant with Nolan. I put it down for quite some time and didn't pick it back up until after I knew I was having another boy. It was a blue blanket after all. Now that I'm finally finished with it maybe I can work on making some other things that I got patterns for. I'm still a pretty novice knitter so we will see how it goes.
