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.

37 Weeks and 4 days

I had what is definitely my last ultrasound appointment this morning at MFM. Fortunately, since everything got delayed a week and Marshall is at home he was able to go with me to this final ultrasound. Baby boy was doing great and passed his BPP test with no problem. The ultrasound tech kept asking me if I was diabetic which was a little unnerving to me as I am not. I know diabetic women tend to have big babies so I hope that is not what she was after. We didn't get a picture of the little guy's face, but we saw all his other parts including his private ones. Yep, all boy. Definitely not shy about showing us that. When we saw Dr. Reddick she expressed how disappointed she also was to hear that the lung maturity came back negative and we had to wait another week. She said everything still looked great though and asked when my induction was scheduled for. She wished us luck and told me if I needed anything or had any concerns or questions this week to just come in or give them a call.

After our appointment it was nice weather outside so we came home and put together the base for my swingasan chair. Marshall tried it out first and seeing that it was very sturdy and not inclined to fall or tip over he let me swing in it some. JoJo seemed to like the new addition to the front porch as well for she found her a spot to lay between it and the house. I can see many days in our near future sitting here on the front porch enjoying the nice weather and rocking the baby. I can't wait. Now if Saturday will just hurry up and get here so that can happen!

Shea ended up bringing Tynik over tonight so he could see "Uncle Marsh." He was so excited to see him and to play his dinosaur game on his iPad. The two of them sat on the couch and played while Shea and I watched The Bachelor. Tynik is so excited about our baby and keeps asking when are we going to have the baby so he can see him. He told Shea its going to be a super cute baby because its not just my baby it's Marshall's too. Tynik was a great distraction tonight to keep us busy instead of fixating on how much longer we had until Saturday.
