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.

One Week

I ended up sleeping for well over 10 hours last night and it felt amazing. Minus of course about 6 trips to the bathroom during the night, it was the most sleep I had had collectively over the last three nights. JoJo was glad to see we were still home this morning as she eagerly jumped into bed for some snuggles this morning and proceeded to take over the entire bed. I think Marshall and I both were in a funk still from the news of last night. I didn't really have much desire to go and do much of anything today so I sat on the couch, watched TV and knitted. I finally finished an elf hat I was knitting for the baby and also made a matching diaper cover. I thought they would be cute for newborn pictures. Now hopefully they will just fit the baby.

Later in the afternoon I received a text from Dr. McLean saying my induction was scheduled for next Saturday. I would have to call at 5:30am next Saturday and see if they have a bed available for me and if they do I will go in at 7am. If not, it could be anytime that day when they do have a bed available. So I have one whole week to wait until hopefully we get to meet our son. It's going to be a very long week.
