Caroline’s Birth Story. Learning how to be the mom of an angel. Caroline’s Birth Story. My due date came and went, and I was still pregnant. It was amazing to make it to term with Caroline, who had Trisomy 13 and many health concerns, but I was as ready as I’d ever be for her arrival. I kept going in to work, and every day would leave saying, “Maybe see you tomorrow! At this point, I asked to use the birthing tub. It took some time for the nurses to set it up, but it was worth it – the warm wat...I soon ...

Caroline’s Birth Story. Learning how to be the mom of an angel. July 11, 2016. I had a dream that I had them both. We went together to my OB appointment. My OB was shocked to see Caroline but was amazed. I woke up before I could lose her again. I reveled in the feeling of having Caroline with me being normal and real before the tears came. Oh Caroline, how I miss you. Thank you for visiting your mother in her dreams. I know you are always with us. May 31, 2016. Anyways, this is a big step for me. Alt...

Caroline’s Birth Story. Learning how to be the mom of an angel. I ran out of the bathroom and told my husband that he was going to be a daddy. That same month he got a promotion at work that would help us to afford our bundle of joy on the way. Life was incredible. During our ultrasound, we found out that I was right – we were having a little girl! 8221; A silly thing to obsess over, but I was in shock and grieving our life together. And so perfect. I can’t express the joy that my husband and I...A few d...

Caroline’s Birth Story. Learning how to be the mom of an angel. June 5, 2015. I have entered year 2 post-loss. I thought it would get easier but it hasn’t. In fact, lately grief has taken a firm hold. I miss Caroline so deeply. She is still, and possibly always will be, at the forefront of every thought. I feel her presence in the sunshine that she loved. I ache to hold her in my arms. I yearn to see her play and grow up. I love her with every ounce of my being. 6 thoughts on “ Year 2. I’ll be ente...

Caroline’s Birth Story. Learning how to be the mom of an angel. May 26, 2015. As of today my husband and I have been married for 3 years. It is amazing what we have been through together in 3 years.

Difficult Parenting | Mothering Caroline Grace
https://motheringcarolinegrace.wordpress.com/2015/06/27/difficult-parenting
Caroline’s Birth Story. Learning how to be the mom of an angel. June 27, 2015. There are some aspects of parenting that are difficult and unique to teenage daughters. After we watched the episode, my husband said that he’s sad that he won’t have these conversations with Caroline, but also glad because they are so difficult. I feel so sad that he may never parent a teenage girl. Infant loss is so much more than that. We may have lost our opportunity to shape a young woman, and that is a loss too. Survivin...

Caroline’s Birth Story. Learning how to be the mom of an angel. Remembering Her Sweet Soul. June 15, 2015. Caroline had a sweet demeanor. She was such a content baby, never fussing as she was passed from person to person. She loved to be cuddled and warm. She loved snuggling with mommy and daddy. I am very protective of my pictures of Caroline. Second to my memories, they are the firmest link to my time with the sweetest baby in the world. I find myself looking at this picture often every day, st...Every...
