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.

Induction Eve

Well tomorrow as long as everything goes well we will be going in to the hospital to induce our baby and hopefully will be holding him in our arms sometime later tomorrow. Marshall and I both were feeling a bit anxious and stressed today and it ended up with us having odds with each other over nothing at all. We eventually sat down and talked through our feelings and realized we both were just so nervous about setting foot back in the labor and delivery hall where we were just shy of a year ago with the most horrible event of our life. I'm hopeful that this time things are going to be much different and our experience is going to be much better all around. We finally got ready and went to the mall where we ran into Karson my Zumba instructor of all people. Marshall was finally able to meet her in person and told me she was exactly as he had pictured her. She was there with her husband and little boy whom we met as they were going for a ride on the mall train. Yep that will be us in a year or so. We then grabbed a snack in the food court and then walked down so I could get my nails repainted. My toenails still looked great from my pedicure last week but my nail polish was all chipped off. The guy did a really great job and they look way better now.

Right before we left to go to the mall our four year old Keurig decided to die on us. It had been trying to for some time so we decided to go purchase another one. After a trip to Bed, Bath and Beyond to get some new curtains for our kitchen, we stopped at Costco to pick up our new and improved Keurig. When we got home, Shea was waiting for us. As Marshall put together our Keurig our nephew Robi pulled up. He drove all the way from Boone on his spring break to be here for the birth of his new cousin tomorrow. Not many 22 year old boys would do that but it really means a lot to both of us that he would want to be here for this special event. Susan showed up a little later with dinner from Buffalo Wild Wings. We all chowed down and while us girls watched Twilight, the boys went and played Xbox. It was a fun evening now I'm just hoping I can get a little bit of sleep before I have to get up and call the hospital at 5:30am!
