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.

Date Night


We didn't have anything planned to do today so Marshall and I both just hung around the house. He worked on editing together the silhouette picture of me he took the other day with an ultrasound picture of the baby. It took us awhile to figure out how to do everything we wanted to do on photoshop as neither of us have played on photoshop much and definitely not recently. Eventually, we figured it out though and it turned out really nice I thought. I had been a little leery about it but I thought it was tastefully done. I spent the morning doing laundry and knitting. I finally finished the diaper cover to go with my latest baby toboggan. Now hopefully they will actually fit the little guy.

We both eventually showered and got ready for our big "date night." Since it might very well be the last time we get to go out just the two of us for awhile, it was nice to have some time just the two of us. Marshall had made reservations at Port City Chop House for dinner and so he picked me up after ukulele class and we headed over there. Dinner was really good and I got my steak that I wanted. When we got home my Mom was still over using our computer to do her taxes and my cousin Jay came over shortly after to hang out with us for a bit. Mom finished her taxes shortly after we were home and headed home herself but Jay hung out  for awhile after she left. He too eventually left and Marshall and I enjoyed our last night alone together by turning on a movie and falling asleep.
