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.

Day 25: #SayItOutLoud

Day 25: #SayItOutLoud
Oct 25, 2013


There isn't much I haven't said regarding Nolan and his death either on here or on my blog, and while some might disagree with my openness, all I can say to them is then don't read it. I thought instead of trying to rack my brain to say something I haven't already said, I would post a picture that nobody has ever seen. In fact, I myself have never even looked at it until today. This picture is probably the last truly happy picture of myself. It's the last picture of myself before my world came crashing down and my happiness ceased to be as carefree and naive as it once was. This picture was taken at my baby shower for Nolan (we refused to have any showers with Ronan). I was 35 weeks pregnant in this picture. Five weeks shy of being full term and yet had Nolan been born on the day this picture was taken, he would most likely still be with us today and as healthy and happy and normal as any other 1 1/2 year old. This picture was taken a mere 6 days before Nolan was born.
