Naomi Grace: February 2015
http://babynaomigrace.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 27, 2015. And this is what it looked like this morning. The crazy thing is that her area HAS been shoveled and snow-blown this season by friends and family. It's just the snow has been drifting so much that all that work was filled in. When we took the kids this morning, the kids and I stayed in the car while daddy got himself through the trenches of snow to place our balloons for us. If we'd had snow like this in 2013, I think we definitely would have waited until spring for burial.

Naomi Grace: February 2016
http://babynaomigrace.blogspot.com/2016_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 27, 2016. Another year, another blog post scratched out in the last few minutes of the day. Quite different than last year, the snow was not a problem for today’s visit. Discussions over who gets to be next to who. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Naomi Grace was born on February 27, 2013 and lived for 15 hours. In August 2012, she had been given a terminal diagnosis prenatally. This blog was created to keep family and friends updated in a non-Facebook setting. View my complete profile.

Naomi Grace: 3 months
http://babynaomigrace.blogspot.com/2013/05/3-months.html
Monday, May 27, 2013. The spring weather has been lovely and made visiting Naomi's grave easier. When we go there or sometimes when we drive by other cemeteries, my 6yo will call it "heaven." Sometimes I correct her and tell her it's a cemetery, and other times I don't. This is from April 16th when I put the grave decorations around it. I put them in the corners to help me know exactly where she is once the grass came in. I snapped this picture quickly on May 18th when all the flowers were in bloom.

Naomi Grace: May 2014
http://babynaomigrace.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 28, 2014. 15 hours, 15 months, 100 gallons. Measuring to the milliliter is nuts.). I hit the 100 gallons with my morning pump, but forgot to take a picture. Between that and knowing I won't be home tomorrow morning, I decided to do "one more" full hour-long pump tonight, shown below. So I'm not done like I thought I would be, but I'm closer, right? That's what I keep telling myself. ;). Six ounces. In my pre-EPing days, this would have looked like a lot to me! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Naomi Grace: The combs or the long hair
http://babynaomigrace.blogspot.com/2013/11/the-combs-or-long-hair.html
Tuesday, November 12, 2013. The combs or the long hair. Still here. Still pumping. Still all angsty about my lack of blogging. I feel stuck in a Gift of the Magi conundrum, where the thing I want (writing, or the beautiful combs) is going to require giving up what I already have (pumping, or the long gorgeous hair). And then what will I write about? Because that makes a lot more sense than renting it from trained lactation professionals who will support and advise me, like hospitals used to do.). Sometim...

Naomi Grace: April 2014
http://babynaomigrace.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 17, 2014. Last week, Emmanuel John was born with the same condition (fetal acrania) that my daughter Naomi Grace was born with. I was privileged to meet and hold him when he was one day old. He lived for FIVE days, wow! This slideshow was from his memorial service yesterday. A beautiful baby who will never be forgotten.

Discussions over who gets to be next to who. February 28, 2016 at 7:37 AM. Oh Sarah. My heart goes out to you this morning. I feel the pain in this post and it breaks my heart. You are so precious. I wish I could wrap my arms around you. Such loss. Much loving prayer going out for you today. February 28, 2016 at 5:49 PM.

Naomi Grace: Rachel's Race
http://babynaomigrace.blogspot.com/2014/07/rachels-race.html
Sunday, July 27, 2014. Next Saturday, my friend Stacy's non-profit Baby Rachel's Legacy will be putting on Rachel's Race. It is both a fundraiser and a way to spread awareness of anencephaly. (Which is technically a slightly different diagnosis than acrania, mostly related to suspected causes, but same end result.) There will be four different anencephaly/acrania families represented at the race, including Team Naomi. I have been very negligent in preparing for this event! So all donations are tax deduct...
