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.

Coffee with Kids

This morning we had coffee day with Tina and Dino at Barnes and Noble. We all commented on how much our coffee days had changed in the last year as we sat there with Dino's 16 month old son Dylan, Tina's 7 month old daughter Harper and me with a very pregnant belly. I guess this is what our life is going to be from here on out. Coffee days with kids. Everything is about to be all about children. Play dates and birthday parties. After coffee, Marshall and I headed down to Monkey Junction and met my Dad for lunch. He's working the rest of the week so it was our last chance to spend time with him alone before the baby came. We also had agreed to watch Dylan for Dino for a couple of hours this afternoon, so we headed over there directly after lunch. Dylan wasn't asleep when we got there but I could hear him talking quietly to himself in his crib. About 30 minutes after Dino left I noticed I hadn't heard Dylan in awhile so I went to check on him and found him sound asleep in his crib with his thumb in his mouth. That boy is definitely going to be a thumb sucker as he had it in his mouth at coffee this morning too.

Susan and Shea came over for American Idol. Shea brought pizza that we cooked for dinner. Susan also brought me over some homemade chicken salad for me to have. Yum. That is totally going to be lunch tomorrow. American Idol still didn't impress me tonight.
