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.

Yard work

Since this is quite possibly my last week of exercising for awhile, I decided to get up and start the morning off right with Zumba at Babs McDance with Karson. After Zumba I was still feeling pretty good and energetic, so my Dad came over to help me get some more mulch from Lowe's. I had started on the front flower beds last week, but didn't have any where near enough mulch. While we were out we grabbed lunch at Surfhouse and then headed home. Before my Dad had to leave to head in for work, he dumped a couple of bags of mulch out for me so I could spend the next hour spreading it out. I managed to finish our large front flower bed and started weeding the side one. I did take a break in order to cut bit of grass in the backyard that was already beginning to be a bit unruly. I know, can you believe it? It's not even March yet and our back yard grass is coming in green and long. I did use the mower to mulch and bag up some of the plethora of leaves we have. I don't know if I will ever get all the leaves bagged and out of our backyard! They seem to really have taken over this year. Eventually, I had to quit and go inside as my back was beginning to feel the strain of the bending over. At least I had managed to be fairly productive today. I figured the busier I was this week, the faster it would go and the sooner it would be time for our highly anticipated amnio. I showered and spent the rest of the evening hanging out at the house knitting and watching The Bachelor. Fortunately, the exercise and yard work had tuckered me out and so I was sleepy pretty early tonight.
