<br />
Dear Case,<br />
Happy "Birth-O-Ween"! Today you are nine years old! Nine years ago you came into our lives when we needed you the most... yes, WE needed you. Joshua and Caleb made us parents but you made us Mommy and Daddy. There is no greater or scarier privilege than this one. There's something pretty crazy, special, sad and mostly heartwrenching about this birthday though. It's different from the last 8. <br />
<br />
For nine years we've been walking up the hill to reach this point. We've laughed, we've cried, we've disciplined; rinse and repeat for nine years. Now we start our downhill descent. We are no longer building up... now we are counting down. In 9 more years from today, the world will call you an adult. Legally, you will be able to vote, open your own bank account, sign your own documents, enlist in the military, serve on a jury, buy fireworks, get a tattoo and (gulp) live by yourself. I can't wrap my mind, and especially my heart, around the fact that your childhood is officially halfway over today. Each year seems to get busier and faster, which means the next nine years are going to fly by even faster than the first nine did.<br />
<br />
This next nine years will be like a final exam for Daddy and me. Did we do enough? Did we discipline the right way? Were we too harsh? Were we too gentle? I can make a list of one hundred ways I've screwed up at being your mom, and that would likely only get me through this week. I pray with all that I am, that despite my failures, you're still going to grow up to be a bright spot in this dark world.<br />
<br />
I am not sure what the next nine years will look like for you. You have changed so much and so fast in the past few years. You've really started to become your own person. I've seen glimpses of the teenage attitude, which will likely be super "fun" for all involved, and I've seen glimpses of this super funny, loving kid that has the potential to totally change the world. As you travel through the next nine years, I need you to remember a few things. God did NOT promise to make your life easy. He DID promise to be with you through it all though. Remember that the world is watching the most when things get hard, and things WILL get hard. <br />
<br />
There will be times when it feels like the whole world is against you. Keep your head up. Keep your heart focused. And don't worry about what the people around you think of you. Your heart will always know right from wrong. Stick with what's right and be kind. Make the choice to show God's love to the person that believes the same things as you, <i>and </i>to the person that believes <i>none </i>of the things you do. Be in the Word and let Jesus be your guide. <br />
<br />
I pray that you develop a strong work ethic over the next nine years. Working hard will go a long way to carry you through tough situations in school and life. You don't get something for nothing. The world doesn't owe you anything but God <i>has </i>called <i>you </i>to serve the world. Always be kind... genuinely kind. No one likes a faker and people see right through that. But genuine kindness? That has the ability to totally transform your life and the lives around you. As you get older, you will begin to see how truly ugly the world can be. People can be so cruel. There's death and poverty and so much fighting. But there is also beauty in the world. Find the beauty. Seek it out. It's worth it. And when you can't find the beauty, make some. <br />
<br />
I also need to let you in on a little secret. Contrary to what you may think, Mommy and Daddy do NOT have things all figured out. Growing up is NOT the answer to all your questions and problems. It's just the key to a whole new world of confusion. So cling to God's Word now, so that when you're all grown up, the sword of your spirit will be big and strong and ready to take on all the complications that come with being a grown up. And don't be in a hurry to get there. Take your time and enjoy the last half of your childhood. Don't keep lunging forward to the next chapter, rather enjoy the one you're in. There's a great story there! <br />
<br />
Now a word of advice to the future 18 year old you... along with the privilege of being old enough to live on your own, get a tattoo, and blow your paycheck on lottery tickets; you're also old enough to go to jail. So make good choices and love the people around you. <br />
<br />
I love you Case Case! You're going to keep on this descent whether my momma heart is ready or not, so be gentle in the moments where I fall apart. My heart is just trying to catch up with your reality. No matter what the last half of your childhood looks like, I will always love you with all that I am and you will never make a mistake big enough to change that even a little bit. Happy Birthday, Case! <br />
<br />
Love,<br />
Mommy Bev Johnstonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13851926735190102852noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339303554685432563.post-90026610831034552802018-09-06T21:07:00.002-04:002018-09-06T21:07:18.201-04:00Ten Years<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Dear Joshua and Caleb,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
10 years. 10 years since I held you in my hands. 10 years since our world was shattered into pieces. As I sit here staring at this blank page, I wonder if after ten years I’ve already said everything there is to say. And I probably have but if you love someone and miss them can you possibly tell them too many times? Still, I wonder, Is our loss relevant enough to still bring hope to those with a more recent loss? Should I still feel like a piece of me is missing? Should it still feel like there’s a part of my life that will always feel a little bit shaken? Should I still immediately feel fear wash over me when someone I care about tells me they’re pregnant? Should I still feel like I can’t breathe when I hear that someone has lost a baby? Should I still live in fear that something terrible is going to happen to one of your brothers or your daddy? I don’t know the answers to any of these things but I do know that I still feel like something is missing from this life; I still feel fear and I still feel worry. But I also feel contentment and calm. It doesn’t make sense to feel both but here I am. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
God doesn’t take away my worry that something terrible will happen to one of your brothers or your Daddy, but He does remind me what He has already carried me through. He reminds me that no matter what, He is <i>here</i> and He will be <i>there</i>. He will carry me through every single trial no matter how big or small. No matter how much it rocks my world or interferes with my plans. That brings me calm and peace in the midst of fear and worry. Statistically, stillbirth happens more than people know but statistically, it’s still a very small percentage of people that walk this walk. After being pregnant 7 times, with 8 babies, with only three of them living, the percentage gets even smaller. And with all of the circumstances being different each time it’s even smaller still. It takes my head to a place of “We’ve faced all of these special circumstances, what’s next?” That’s when I start to worry so much about Case, Ty, Knox, and Daddy. I start to worry that I couldn’t bear to lose one of them. But then God. He steps in. He tells me I wouldn’t have to bear it, because He would.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You have been a constant reminder that my plans are <i>not</i> His plans. I am so grateful that the One that knows the beginning and the end and every seemingly insignificant detail in between, is the one who is truly in charge of my plans. Do I still miss you? Yes. Absolutely. Nothing will ever feel totally settled because you aren’t here. But God has carried me through 10 years without you. He has given me the gift of remembering you without the weight of a thousand bricks on my chest. He has given me the ability to go back to that day. To see how tiny you were in my hands. To see the tears from everyone that loved you so much. To see the raw emotion of that night we spent with you. But he also allows me to feel the love that surrounded you and me and Daddy. He reminds me of the beauty in our pain. We were broken, but still carried. He put us back together one piece, sometimes one second, at a time. We never walked a step without Him, even when tried to. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It's so hard not to think of what your 10<sup>th</sup> birthday would have been like though. 10 is a BIG deal in our family! Two-digit numbers need to be celebrated in a big way. <i>These</i> are the memories that I looked forward to the minute I found out I was pregnant and even more so the minute I found out there were two of you. <i>These</i> are the big moments that I miss. The big moments that I can only imagine. Would you have shared friends or each had your own? What kind of party would you want? Game truck? Lego party? Sleepover or a couple hours with friends? Chocolate cake or vanilla? How many arguments would we have over the matching birthday shirts I made you or the number of friends you could invite? Man, I would love to make these memories with you! Then I get the best three hugs from Case at bedtime and I know that everything is exactly how it is supposed to be. I know that your brothers are here because you’re not. And while I don’t get to celebrate your 10<sup>th</sup> birthday with you our world is exactly how it was meant to be. I get all of you, just in different ways. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Another thing that is surprisingly still hard after 10 years? I still don’t know how to answer the question, “How many kids do you have?”. I know how I <i>want</i> to answer it but I rarely do it that way. I usually say “I have three boys.” At that point, I almost always get, “Oh boy! I bet you are busy!” That’s when I really want to say, “But there’s more! There were FIVE of them!” I want to say, “I have three awesome, crazy boys that I get to kiss goodnight and I have two more that I only wish I could.” Sometimes I tell people about you when I first meet them and I’m almost always glad I did. I have met some pretty awesome people below the surface that would have otherwise just been superficial meetings. I wonder how many opportunities I’ve missed by not sharing you with the world. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Well, my page is now far from blank, so I guess there was more for me to say. Will there be next year? I have no idea but whether my page remains blank or not please know that I still miss you and love you more than I could ever say even if I wrote a million pages. Please know how grateful I am for the legacy you left behind, for the clarity you have given me and for the beautiful people you’ve brought into my life. I love you always, my forever babies! </div>

The weather app I looked at last night and this morning said there was an 80% chance of rain from about 2:00 on. Case, Ty, and Knox had dentist appointments at noon so we took the afternoon and headed to the cemetery. It didn't rain a drop until we left. It was another beautiful day at the cemetery. When I drive there I wish they weren't so far away but when I get there I just love it so much. The drive is totally worth it. We left the cemetery and went to see Christopher Robin. It was a great movie. The boys thought it was great to go chair hopping throughout because we were the only ones in the theater. I love these moments when we can sneak away from reality as a family. </div>

Dear Joshua and Caleb,<br />
<br />
It has been nine years now. Goodness! When I think of that number it seems like such a long time ago! You would be in third grade. I often wonder who you would be, what you would look like, what things you would be into. School? Sports? Friends? It's fun to think about how our family dynamic would be different if you were still here with us. Five boys (six counting Daddy) under one roof would make for some interesting sounds and smells. I'd probably just give in all together and put in urinals upstairs and downstairs. And oh the schedules... I just can't imagine adding two more schedules into our already crazy lives. I'd do it in a heartbeat though... if that had been part of the plan. God had much bigger things than busy schedules, peeing on walls, and helping your brothers master the art of armpit farting, planned for you. You live in SO many other ways here!<br />
<br />
You changed me. You taught me compassion. I used to feel sad when I heard that someone lost a baby but I couldn't fully grasp what that meant. You gave me the gift of true understanding though. Now my heart breaks every time I hear of another momma's loss. I can easily feel the hurt and shattering of my heart on the day that I found out you were never coming home with me. I can't breath thinking of these mommas that are just starting this journey. It's totally unnatural. You can go from painting a nursery to planning a funeral in a matter of moments. The shock is just too much for one person to handle. God never made me walk alone though. I may have frequently felt lonely but never alone. God carried me every step of the way and gave me your daddy, who never rushed my grief. He knew I couldn't walk it alone. My first prayer for these mommas is just that they would let God be a part of their journey. There will still be bumps and sharp turns and gravel roads that shake you to your core but they will NEVER be alone. And the roads will get smoother and more manageable until you can actually do life without the constant pressure of grief pushing down on your chest. Laughter comes back and all of a sudden you find yourself seeing the true beauty of everything and everyone around you. All God's gifts. <br />
<br />
A few months ago we stopped our monthly support group. Families stopped coming. I'd love to believe that there just weren't any losses but I know that isn't the case. This was a very hard decision for me. Did I not do enough for these mommas? I pray that no one ever felt forgotten or like I didn't care enough. Was it our location? I don't know. Is it that there are so many virtual resources out there now? Maybe. Whatever the reason I had to make the decision to walk away from it. It was a beautiful when it worked. It was such an honor to walk with and see the progress that these mommas made to go from completely shattered to picking up the pieces and living again. I'm so sad though. I can't imagine not having the girls that were there for me after I lost you. My online support girls were all wonderful but there is something about sitting in a room seeing other mommas getting emotional because they can feel the same things you feel. And seeing firsthand what time does for grief. Sitting in a room with mommas a few years out, there is hope where there once was darkness. I'm sad that I can't offer that support to other moms anymore. I pray for God to show me another way to keep honoring you! I don't know what it is but I'm always going to feel the need to keep your memory alive here. I'm reminded every year though. You are not forgotten. I get calls, texts Facebook posts, even before I've said a word about what today is. I can only assume that is because you left your mark on those people too. It reminds me that you are still living on in each of the people that you touched. Your time was short but your footprints are large.<br />
<br />
Nine years and I can still smell you. I can still go back to that day and it is all very real. Not like a memory but like I can still feel everything. I'm grateful that this doesn't fade with time. Maybe walking with other mommas makes it easier to remember. Maybe that's one of the biggest reasons I'm scared that our group is gone. Maybe it's because that group was helping me more than them. I don't know. But the fear is real. I don't ever want to forget, even the hard parts. That was my day with you. I pray it NEVER goes away. <br />
<br />
I hope that you know that you live on in me each and every day. I pray that I never miss an opportunity to use your lives to help another. It is my goal to keep your memory alive in kindness towards others. I hope that I never let you down! Never! You made me a momma and your brothers gave me the job to go with the title. I'm so grateful for all of my boys. I will never be able to fully explain it but this job... being your momma and Case and Ty and Knox's momma is MY job. This is who I am and all that I ever wanted to be. Thank you for making a mom! I love you so much! Sleep well my forever babies. <br />
<br />
Love,<br />
Mommy<br />

Even today I still don't regret that dress. I walked down the aisle barefoot because that seemed safer than taking my chances with heals or tripping on my dress. My wedding planner almost lost it... on more than one occasion with us if I'm being honest. It was a perfect day though. Cinderella themed, hair and makeup done for me, an amazing photographer capturing so many wonderful moments, bagpipes during our recession, a super fun band at our reception. It was the start of life with my best friend. In that day I was pretty sure things were going to be perfect. How could anything go wrong when we had such an awesome beginning?<br />
<br />
Turns out he's not perfect and I'm far from it. Two imperfect people doing life together is not a recipe for perfection. It's a recipe for a flawed marriage. In 15 years we've completed 2 bachelors degrees, 1 masters degree, had 5 jobs, 2 houses (with 6 months in between at my parent's house), 7 pregnancies, burying our stillborn twin boys, a 7 year old boy, a 6 year old boy, and an almost 3 year old boy. You can imagine that two flawed people doing all of that together doesn't happen without bumps, craters, tears and a whole lot of laughter along the way. There was one point early on before we even hit the really complicated stuff that I was all but sure we wouldn't make it but God had other plans for us. God entered our marriage and grabbed the steering wheel. We both went through changes that I totally didn't see coming. <br />
<br />
I learned that there really is nothing that I am capable of without God's hand guiding me through. I couldn't wish a fix for our marriage but I could pray for one. We both learned the difference between fairy tales and agape love. Agape love is the love God calls us to have in a marriage. Fairy tales are just that... tales. Agape love doesn't quit just because quitting would be easier. It is sacrificial, not self serving. It is a choice, not a feeling. It is folding the laundry even though you have no idea which kid the clothes belong to. It is emptying the dishwasher even though it would be way easier to pretend you hadn't opened it and seen that it was clean. It is giving your wife the one empty room in your house to be her craft room even though you really want an office of your own. It is being the first to apologize after an argument. It is going to work every day to a job you don't always love so that your wife can be home with your kids. It is not batting an eye when your wife says she needs to get out of the house for a bit even though you've just worked a long day. It is Wayne. <br />
<br />
He chooses to love me even when I'm not lovable. I screw up a lot. A lot. He still reaches out to grab my hand or tells me I'm beautiful even when I know I've been ugly to him. He gives so much of himself to make sure that no matter what I know that I am loved. I have more than my fair share of self-doubt but one look from him and I know that none of that matters. God gifted me a marriage that allows me to be loved despite my flaws. He gave me Wayne. My best friend. My partner in everything. My rational side when I get worked up and filled with anxiety. My smile when all I want to do is cry. <br />
<br />
15 years has flown by but when I look at all that our marriage has been through it seems like it should be even longer. I can't help but be overwhelmed with gratitude for the marriage that God has blessed me with. There have definitely been hard times but He has seen us through them. We still aren't perfect, neither is our marriage. We have a lot to learn but we are learning together. There are days where I barely see him or we have so many things on our schedule that we are just running from one place to another in opposite directions, but at the end of the day I know he's there. Even if he's traveling to the other side of the country, I know he's there and I know he chooses to love me. <br />
<br />
Happy 15th Anniversary Wayne. Look at all that God has done for us...<br />

<br />
Dear Knox,<br />
I'm about 3 months late with this post and a lot can change in 3 months when you're only two. So this is more of a glimpse of you at 2 years three months. First off I can't believe that you are two let alone the fact another 3 months have happened since that day! <br />
<br />
Some stats for you:<br />
<br />
<b>Height: </b>35"<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Weight:</b> 28 lbs<br />
<br />
<b>Clothing: </b>pants 18M to 2T Shirts 2T<br />
<br />
<b>Diapers:</b> Size 5. No discussion of potty training here. I tried sitting you on the potty about 7 months ago and I didn't get your foot all the way to the other side of the potty so it went into the water. We're going to call that a set back. You screamed. I apologized 100 times. It wasn't pretty and I don't know if you will ever sit on the potty again. You like to watch the rest of us go though. <br />
<br />
<b>Food:</b> You love sweets! Donuts, candy, chocolate, ice cream, you name it! You also like milk, pears, graham crackers, veggie sticks, pizza, cereal bars, other things are hit and miss. Oh and gum. Lots and lots of gum. I'm thinking about getting stock in Trident. You got through several pieces a day and oddly enough you have only swallowed it maybe two or three times. Sometimes Daddy (he doesn't brush your teeth before bed... if you have teeth issues now that is why) doesn't know you have gum when he puts you to bed and when I get you up in the morning it's still there. <br />
<br />
<b>Talking:</b> You are talking more and more every day. You have started putting sentences together and you surprise us every day with how much you learn. Probably the sweetest thing you say is "Thank you Momma," or Daddy or whoever you're talking to. You are just very quick to say thank you and you always use a name at the end. Let's hope that sticks. You have funny names for things that have stuck with us. The iPad, one of your favorite things, you have named "Ole' Pie", you call a truck a "dutch". I know there are others but these are frequently used by you and the ones that come to mind right now. <br />
<br />
<b>Tricks: </b>I just turned your car seat around a few weeks ago after you puked from being car sick for the second time. Thank goodness it was in Grandma's car this time! When you had the mirror in front of you though you used it. Really well. You'd describe the cars you saw in the mirror. I was always shocked. I don't remember your brothers ever doing that. You'd even call out "Pop Paw's Dutch" if you saw one that looked like it. We were in a parking lot and the road was far away but you saw Mrs. Wolfe's van and yelled "Andy" (he's one of your other favorite people and Mrs. Wolfe's son). So apparently you have excellent car recognition. Not sure if that will get you far in life but we find it entertaining.<br />
<br />
I can't begin to describe the joy that you bring into my heart each and every day. You are funny. SO funny! You love to laugh and make everyone else laugh... especially your brothers. You are still obsessed with balls. You love to shoot a ball, hit a ball, throw a ball, whatever. About a million times a day I hear, "Momma, shoot ball." and "I hit ball." I love this! I love that you seem to have a passion at only 2 years old. And I'm not gonna lie... I'm really hoping that you pick a sport and grow to really love it! I don't even care if you are good. I just want to be there to see you play and feel what it's like to win and learn how to lose with grace. I want to be there to see you learn all the lessons that organized sports have to offer. But I only want to be there if you truly love it. If it's your passion. Fair warning though. I don't tend to be a quiet spectator. I'm loud. Ask your brothers. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
You are no stranger to a good old fashioned tantrum. You frequently say "no." to any request. Diaper changes, trying a food you don't like, sharing a toy. Doesn't matter. Your typical answer is simply "no." You've spent your fair share of time in timeout already too. You used to sit in timeout. Now I carry you there. You become stiff as a board so I lay you down and that is how you stay until you're sprung. At that point we have a little chat about disobedience, which I'm guessing you understand about 25% of. Then I tell you that you need to say "sorry Mommy." You don't. You have NEVER said the word "sorry". You are stubborn. VERY stubborn. One night, and I can't even remember the reason, you were in and out of timeout for about 1.5 hours because you refused to say sorry. At one point during this standoff, Case brought us a picture book entitled "Sorry". Genius! He's a way better parent than I am! It still didn't work though. Now when I say you need to say sorry Mommy you just lay your head on me and hug me for about 30 seconds. In my book that counts. I will take that over hearing the word "sorry" any day of the week!<br />

You are starting to role play with whatever toys you happen to have. It is SO much fun to listen to your characters carry on a conversation. Sadly it always ends up being a full on riot between them but before they start beating the tar out of each other it's really cute. <br />
<br />
You pretty much idolize your big brothers! You love to run with them and wrestle with them! No one makes you laugh and smile quite like they do. You only recently, about a month ago, started saying Case's name. You've said Ty's for a long time. Usually over and over and over again until he'd yell at you, "WHAT KNOX!". He's probably the most excited of all of us that you've learned Case's name. You ask where your brothers are all day long when they are at school. "Where Ty?, Where Case?, Where Daddy?" are the questions I hear several times throughout the day. As soon as you hear an alarm reminder on my phone you yell "Bus!" and head for the door. <br />
<br />
You are painfully and awkwardly (for mommy) shy. You'll say hi to everyone in the grocery store unless I tell you to. Then you lay your head down on me and won't even look at the person. You're not a fan of new situations or of any situation that might involve me leaving you with anyone but Daddy, Grandma, or Grandpa. I have been to church about 2 times in the last 6 months. You won't stay in the nursery without me so we hangout there together each Sunday. I usually try to sneak out at some point during the service but even if you don't see me leave and you're completely focused on playing, something in you knows that I'm gone. I can't make it 10 feet out the door and your scream is piercing every ear within a one mile radius. Seriously, I think cars are pulling to the side of the road even. You sound like a firetruck. So back in I go. I'm okay with this. It's temporary and I'm going to miss our time together when you don't need me anymore. <br />
<br />
You have a special bond with your Grandpa. It's funny, he's the one that was adamant about not having a silly grandpa nickname and you and Molly both gave him one. You call him Pop Paw. I have no idea how to spell it but that's what it sounds like. The minute you see Grandma you ask where Pop Paw is. It drives her crazy and Pop Paw loves it! Today you were fighting back tears when he left. You just kept grabbing his leg and hugging him. I think he just about decided to scrap the rest of the plans he had for the day. <br />

If I've been out and you hear me come in the door you run just as fast as your little legs will carry you to greet me at the door with a giant hug. I seriously melt every single time. You do the same for Daddy and Grandma and Pop Paw. There's just nothing like the unconditional love and pure excitement you have for the people you care about the most!<br />
<br />
I wish I could just follow you around with a camera all day long and just video everything you do for one day because I don't want to forget any of it. Time is flying and in a minute you're going to be off to school and I am going to be heartbroken. I dread the day I don't have my little sidekick by me all day long. <br />
<br />

Dear Joshua and Caleb,<br />
Another year has past. Another year with you there and me here. It's been 8 years now. 8 years. 8 years of growing and changing in our family. All that change and all that growth and the two holes you left behind are still there. Empty. Missing. Nothing and no one will ever fill your spots. I struggle with whether we should try to have another baby or not. I don't feel done. I don't feel complete. Is that feeling because you're missing from our family or because there are supposed to be more babies in our family? I have no idea. I guess it wouldn't be a struggle if I knew the answer. <br />

Up until tonight your brothers never understood who you were. They're older now though and the questions came more tonight than they ever have before. They wanted to know who you were. We explained that before Case was born you boys were. They didn't immediately understand that this meant they were your brothers. I'm not sure they understand it now either but it was funny when they asked if either one of you was a girl... even they were shocked by the number of boys we've had. They will understand it all someday though and I'm guessing they will look back at our time visiting you with pure joy. We all love it there. Your brothers love to play with your toys and bring you new ones. They like to walk around and look at all the headstones. There's even a geocache there that we found tonight. Who knew the cemetery could be so much fun. Wayne and I have affectionately named this event Subway at the Cemetery. I hope we have more Subway at the Cemetery events soon because there is just so much peace there with you. And I love that your brothers love being there with you and they aren't growing up afraid of cemeteries. <br />

You would have started 2nd grade this year. I still would have shot for matching first day of school outfits. I'm guessing you would have fought back. I feel pretty strongly about it though, so you should know that I would have won. I wonder what kind of students you would be. I wonder what kinds of things you'd be into. For some reason I picture you being a lot like Case. I don't know why. And you know what? It doesn't matter. I can wonder all I want but there's no answer. There was never meant to be an answer. I'm not sure what to do with that but my faith in God and His plan is strong, especially when it comes to you boys. He has blessed me with a peace and acceptance of this reality that is beyond anything I can understand.<br />
<br />
While I have no idea who you would be today if you were sleeping in the room next to me tonight, I DO know why you were here and why your time was so short. I do know why God allowed us to experience that all consuming grief 8 years ago. I know because I see His reasons all the time. I see His reasons when I can hug another momma experiencing this pain with total understanding. I see His reasons every month when other mommas and daddies walk into our support group meeting. And I see His reasons when those same mommas and daddies stop coming to our meetings because they've moved through their grief and gotten to the other side. I see His reasons when I look into the faces of your brothers. I see His reasons when I look into your daddy's eyes and still feel completely in love with him. I'm a different momma and wife because of you. You had to come and go just as you did so that I could be who I am today. I had to feel the pain and hear the deafening silence when you were born and feel how cold your tiny bodies were. Even today, 8 years later, it is still so easy to go back to that day. I can smell the room and describe the love that surrounded us that day. I can explain every single detail of the ultrasound room when I learned what God had in store for us. Time doesn't change how I can back to that day in an instant. If I smell the soap, or hear someone say your names, or see twin boys. I'm right back there in that moment. Time doesn't change that. And time will never fill the holes you left behind. Time has made it less painful though. I'm happy and grateful even with those holes. <br />
<br />
I'm grateful for every second I got to be your momma. Instead of sitting here wishing I could have tucked you in tonight, I just wish I could get a glimpse of you right now in Heaven. I wish I could see your sweet faces smiling in complete perfection. Until that day comes, I hope you know how much I love you. I hope you know how grateful I am for how you've changed me. I hope and pray that God will give me the strength and courage to let your precious lives shine through into the world. <br />
<br />
I love you my sweet forever babies. Whether 8 or 80 more years go by, you will never be forgotten. You are forever in your momma's heart.<br />
<br />
Love,<br />

Dear Joshua and Caleb,</div>
<br />
7 years. It's been 7 years since you came into the world, almost exactly 7 years in fact. 7 Years since I held your tiny lifeless bodies. 7 years since you changed my life completely. I can still go back to this moment 7 years ago. I know the smells and the sounds and the feeling in the room. I don't think those are things I will ever forget. Those are things I don't want to ever forget. While those are hard things to remember and feel, I am just so grateful. Seriously just grateful for the journey. There are about a million reasons I wouldn't change our journey but it doesn't mean I don't miss you. I can't help but wonder who you'd be today. I sometimes wish I could just get a glimpse at what life would be like with you today but I'm quickly reminded of God's plan. It wasn't God's plan for me to watch you grow up. It wasn't God's plan for me to see who you would be today. My faith today, and always, will sit in His perfect plan and there is no doubt in my mind that you are right where you are supposed to be and your lives have been carefully orchestrated help others.<br />
<br />
Today I looked at my <a href="http://timehop.com/" target="_blank">Timehop</a>, a sort of time capsule of what I posted on this day each year. What a journey these past 7 years have been. All over again I am completely overwhelmed at the support and kind words and love we've received from so many family and friends, many of which I wouldn't even know today if it wasn't for you. You didn't only change my world but their world too. <br />
<br />
So many of the things I do, I only do because of you. <br />
<br />
I've been blessed to continue to help facilitate a support group for families that have lost their children. I sit in those meetings and fumble and probably say a lot of dumb things but because of you mommas have a chance to sit in a room and be surrounded by other mommas that get it. That get their tears, their pain, their loneliness. That is huge! It was huge for me when I lost you boys and now I have the awesome opportunity to be there for these mommas. I've watched mommas who's loss was so fresh and so painful journey through the year in our group. They've changed, despite my fumbling and loss for words, because of God. Because God is still using your lives to change the world. <br />
<br />
I faced a fear. I'm talking, would rather have had a root canal, type of fear! I spoke at an event. A motorcycle ride in memory of twins that another family lost. A motorcycle ride! If someone had told me that the day would come that I would speak to a bunch of bikers I would have said they were crazy! When I was asked to share your story my immediate response was NO! But God led me to see what an opportunity it was. I got to say your names. I got to share you with a room full of people that wouldn't have known you if I hadn't gotten up there. I got to witness a beautiful event full of wonderful people that I wouldn't have had the opportunity to be a part of if it wasn't for you. Most importantly I got to share how God has used your lives over the past 7 years. I did this for you because I absolutely just wanted to run the other way. I did this because your story changes people. <br />
<br />
I look at your brothers, I mean really look at them. I'm always overwhelmed with gratitude. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't have the honor of tucking your brothers in at night and know what a treasure they really are. I wouldn't be able to stop myself in the midst of a tantrum (theirs not mine... although I've been known to have my own a time or two) or a fight and remember how awesome it is that I can see their sweet faces and feel the joy that they bring me every single day, even the really hard ones, if it wasn't for you. <br />
<br />
7 years later and God is still using your lives! <br />
<br />
Oh what I would give to see your sweet healthy happy faces in Heaven today though. I can only imagine how beautiful you are and how amazing it would be to hug you! Today is the day that I miss you the most I think. It's a reflection day I guess. Most days I look forward but today I look back and I miss you. More than normal. Life and responsibilities and the blessings of your three brothers sometimes make me forget how much I miss you but I'm grateful for today's reminder. Remembering how hard this day 7 years ago was and remembering how much I miss you just reminds me of how important our journey is. So tomorrow I will continue our journey. I will go out and take you with me in my heart and we will journey together and see how God uses you.<br />
<br />
I love you and miss you today and always my sweet forever babies!<br />
<br />
Love,<br />
Mommy<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So anyone that knows me, even a little, knows that I HATE my arms or can probably assume that I do. There's a whole list of things that I don't like about myself but that's my number one. My boys have recently discovered my arms. Just a real high point right there. Case calls them messy. Awesome, right? This is payback though. I have the exact same arms Bubby (Grandma) had. She wasn't a model or anything, well I take that back... she probably could have been in her day but she'd never have made it by today's standards. Regardless of her weight though she still had "messy" arms. I can remember standing in her kitchen playing with her arms and even harder to admit is that we frequently referred to her as Chubby Bubby as we played with her arms. Saying "we" makes me feel better a little. Surely I wasn't the only one of my cousins that said it, right? So clearly I deserve the arms that I have today. I've earned them. </div>

This brings me to tonight. Ty was in bed but he always wants me to come in and check on him. So when I was checking on him, sitting on his bed leaning on my hand across him (not a flattering look for "messy" arms) this is the conversation I had with him...<br />
<br />
Ty: Mommy, I didn't know girls could have wiggly arms like that. <br />
Me: Most girls don't but I do. I don't like them but they're the arms I have.<br />
Ty: Well that's just the way God made you.<br />
Me: That's right.<br />
Ty: And if you want to be alive then you have to have those arms. <br />
<br />
I'm sure there's a Beachbody coach, or a Fit Momma article somewhere that disagrees but I can assure you being a fat girl from way back when these arms have always been messy regardless of whether I was at my highest or lowest weight. So I'm convinced Ty is right. If I want to be alive then these are the arms I have. Thanks for the reminder to be grateful Ty. So my apologies if these bad boys take you out the next time I try to point at something while standing near you but these are the arms I have to have and I guess I'm going to just go ahead and be grateful for them. I guess. Well I'll try. Okay odds are I'm still going to hate them but I'm grateful for them at the same time... that's possible, right? <br />

<div>
We went to your one year appointment with Dr. Freeman a couple week ago. He asked me how many words you were saying. Here's how that conversation went:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Dr. Freeman: How many words is he saying?</div>
<div>
Mommy: I have no idea if he's saying any. </div>
<div>
Dr. Freeman: Would you say 10 or 12? </div>
<div>
Mommy: No. I don't know if he's even saying one. </div>
<div>
Dr. Freeman: Well he says Momma and Daddy, right?</div>
<div>
Mommy: No.</div>
<div>
Dr. Freeman: What does he say when he sees you? </div>
<div>
Mommy: Maybe "Hi!"</div>
<div>
Dr. Freeman: What about when he sees your husband?</div>
<div>
Mommy: "Hi!"... maybe.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So apparently you should be talking more. It's possible that you've started to say Ma and maybe some other vague words that only you understand. Oh and when the little old lady is whispering "hush" in Goodnight Moon you are definitely saying that! The good news is that you understand us when we ask you where Mommy or Daddy is and you understand when I tell you to sit, probably because I tell you 531 times when you are in the bathtub. Dr. Freeman made me think your lack of talking was okay since you seemed to understand things. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm not going to lie. I'm not encouraging any of this talking business. You're my favorite right now because you don't talk, which means you don't argue with me. So go ahead. Take you time. I'm fine with it! But please don't ask me what your first word was because I have no idea. I think I'm going to go with "Hi!" though because I'm pretty sure I have to document your first word somewhere. Consider it documented. We're going with it!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I love you and your lack of talking! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Love,</div>
<div>
Mommy</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
P.S. Here's one of my favorite videos of you. Daddy caught this one. It looks like you are practicing your stand up comedy routine...</div>

Dear Ty,<br />
I let you down tonight. I'm so sorry! This isn't the first time I've failed you and I'm sure it's not going to be the last but it's definitely one that's going to stick with me. I keep reliving what I had did and what I SHOULD have done over and over again. <br />
<br />
You were at soccer practice, reluctantly. You had to leave Case's school skating party to go and that put you in a special mood to begin with. When we got there a boy had forgotten his soccer ball and I asked you to share yours with him. You didn't want to and you probably did it for maybe a minute after I practically pushed you onto the field with him. <br />
<br />
After about 10 minutes of practice you all were given a patch to bring to your parents. His mommy was sitting right beside me. You said, "that boy keeps bugging me!" loud enough that the boy and his mom could clearly hear you. I thought you were being unkind. That was my first mistake. Instead of talking to you about it more, I made you apologize to the boy and I apologized to his mom. <br />
<br />
About 30 minutes later that boy came running to his mom crying. He had clearly been hurt. I saw you watching from a distance and my heart sank. I just knew you were responsible for his tears. The boy told his mom that someone bit him. She was understandably upset and pretty much announced it to the entire line of moms. I asked him if you did it. He said yes. I couldn't even fathom why you would bite him. You came over upset almost immediately. I asked you if you did it and you admitted to it. Through your tears I made you apologize and tell your coach that you were going to need to leave early. I was so mad at you. You didn't bite people when you were a toddler but at four years old it happened?!?! In the back of my head I kept thinking, how could you even have bit him? I so wish I had listened to the back of my head! <br />
<br />
On our way home, I talked to you more about what had happened. It turns out that the kid kept falling on top of you on purpose every time you fell down (which you do a lot while playing soccer, not sure why). You told him to get off and you pushed him off when he didn't move. He thought that was fun so he kept falling on you wanting you to push him off. The last time it happened the kid put his finger in your mouth so you bit it. You were defending yourself. Yes, you should have used your words and talked to the boy and nicely asked him not to do that anymore and yes you should have explained to me what exactly was happening because "bugging me" from you could have meant he looked at you funny; but my "should haves" list is much longer. <br />
<br />
I let you take the heat for some kid being obnoxious to you. I let you take the heat for defending yourself. I let all those moms think that you were a mean little boy that bites people for no reason. I 100% don't care what those mom's think of me but to know that they think you were being mean while this kid is just a victim breaks my heart. No it doesn't matter what those people think of you because God knows your heart. But it sure does break mine to know that I am the reason this escalated. <br />
<br />
Daddy had a long talk with you. He's SO much better at this than I am. He explained to you that you have to be kind but you also have to defend yourself. He told you that you need to make sure you are clear when you tell an adult what is happening. And then you prayed for that little boy's finger to get better. <br />
<br />
Before you went to bed and with tears streaming down my face I asked you to forgive me for letting you down. Your heart was so clear to me at that very moment. You could hardly bare to see me upset and with tears welling up in your own eyes you forgave me and gave me a hug. <br />
<br />
I love your heart and your passion. I'm so sorry that I doubted you and that I let you down in front of all those people. I promise that I learned a hard lesson tonight. I will listen when you tell me there's a problem and I will be there to stand up for you when you haven't done anything wrong. <br />
<br />
I love you sweet Ty Ty! Mommy is SO sorry!!!<br />
<br />
Love,<br />
Mommy<br />

P.S. My night of fails didn't end with you... I shut Knox's hand in the door twice.

Dear Knox,</div>
<div>
Your first birthday party has come and past. It's hard to believe! Yes, I know you don't remember it but that's why I blog :-) You had a carnival themed party. It was SO much fun! </div>

<br />
Dear Case,<br />
Tomorrow you start kindergarten and all I can think about tonight is homeschooling and that I probably should have bought some Ben & Jerry's to get through the next 24 hours.<br />
<br />
I don't know how it is possible that tomorrow is it. I feel like my time is up. Like I am done being your mom. Like I have to hope that the mom I've been up to this point has been good enough because tomorrow you go out in the world. You're going to spend more time with someone we don't know than you are with me. How will I know that you are okay? What if you forget to wash your hands, or you accidentally pick something you don't like to eat at lunch, or you forget what bus you ride, or someone is mean to you (by the way I will come after them)? You are going to leave my care at 7:10 in the morning and I'm not going to get you back until 4:10. WHAT??? That's going to feel like FOREVER! And then when you get home I'm going to ask you a hundred questions and you're not going to remember the answer to any of them. Because to you this day is probably not that big of a deal but to me I feel like a third of my job is done. Yes, logically I know I'll always be your mom but this part? It was too short. I didn't do enough or teach you enough or play with you enough or just sit and enjoy you enough. And now our time is up. Even if I had 10 more years, it would never be enough. I don't know why it bothers me so much. This is what you're supposed to do. I get to train you and love on you for 5 years and then I have to share you with the world. Ugh! The world! It's terrible and you're about to find out. For five and a half years I could shelter you from it and protect you from it and now I'm going to throw you out in it. I hate this feeling. I hate that this is the end of this chapter. I hate that I won't have a starring role in the remainder of your chapters. I hate that I have to share you with people that don't know how awesome you really are. They'll learn though! <br />
<br />
As much as I hate all of this, I know that this is my job. This is the job that God gave me. He chose me to be your momma and to prepare you for tomorrow and all the days after it. He chose me! What a gift! What a blessing that He shared you with me but ultimately, somehow, He loves you even more than I do. Tomorrow my faith is going to have to be more than just words. It's being put to the one of the biggest tests I've had to date. My faith in Christ is the ONLY reason I'm going to let you get on that school bus tomorrow. It's the only reason I'm going to let you spend the longest 8 hours of my life with a bunch of people that we don't know. And while I know that HE is in total control of every single second, I'm still going to be here with damp eyes and a red nose because I'm sad. I'm sad that our time is up. And I'm happy. I'm happy because you are so excited. These are the most mixed bag of tears I've ever shed. <br />
<br />
I'll be by your side all the way to that school bus tomorrow and I'll be waiting with SO much excitement in that very same spot when you get back. Do me a favor though, try to remember some things about your day. This is a big one and your momma really needs to know that it was a good one. <br />
<br />
Tonight when I put you to bed you said, "I'm a little bit scared but I think I'm going to make lots of new friends." If there's one thing I know for sure, it's that you aren't half as scared as I am but I'll do my best not to let you know that. I'll be praying for you tomorrow probably most of the day tomorrow because there is absolutely NOTHING else that I can do. This is where the rubber meets the road. I pray that tomorrow lives up to every bit of excitement you're feeling tonight. I pray that you start friendships tomorrow that will last a lifetime. I pray that your teacher is gentle with you and that you're patient with yourself. I pray that you remember this is everyone's first day and that you will ask for help when you need it. Be brave and have fun Case. I'll be here when you get home! <br />
<br />
Love,<br />

Dear Knox,<br />
<br />
Well I made it to 8 months and then failed miserably keeping up with your monthly blog posts! I'm sorry! I did remember your pictures at least before you turned the next month older so those are semi accurate :-) Let's talk about you, because a LOT has changed since your last post. <br />
<br />
You started pulling yourself up at 8.5 months and you were SO proud of yourself! <br />

You started really walking just 4 days shy of 11 months but you took a few steps here and there before that. Your brothers were passing around a pretty high fever that kept us in the house for several days in a row. This was good for your walking! One Thursday afternoon, you just took off! <br />

Another big milestone? YOU ARE SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT!!! WOO HOO!!! Wait, I sounded a little too excited about that. I did love our middle of the night snuggles and will be forever grateful for that time with you but I am also a big fan of uninterrupted sleep so we'll just hang onto those memories and enjoy our sleep. </div>

I still get to rock you to sleep but now you'll even let me read to you first. More often than not you don't fall asleep on me and I have to put you in your bed awake. You'll usually fuss for a minute maybe and then lay down. But those occasions that you do fall asleep on me I LOVE! You like to sleep on your hands with face down. I don't know how you breathe but somehow you manage. You get sleepy at about 7:45 each night and we give in and put you to bed around 8. You'll usually sleep until 7am but you wake up SO happy in the morning. You just sit in your bed and play with toys until I come in to get you. You get sleepy for a morning nap around 9:30 or 10 and usually sleep until 11:30 or so. Then you go down for another nap around 3 until 5 or so. I love that you are such a good sleeper/napper. It gives me a chance to get things done so that I can really enjoy you when you're awake. </div>

Until about 10.5 months you were getting a bottle at both naps and at bedtime. You did so well when I cut out your morning bottle that I thought I'd try the afternoon bottle and you did great! Two days before your first birthday we tried to stop the bedtime bottle and you didn't even flinch. It was weird! I had way more anxiety about it then you did. So you were officially bottle free by your birthday. You love whole milk so that helps make it an easy transition I guess. You drink a cup of milk with each meal but you love water too so that's what you get in between or when we're out. <br />
<br />
You have gotten so good at chewing and eating things that as long as they're little I don't have to worry too much about you choking anymore. I don't even have to break your veggie stixs up anymore and you do love your veggie stix! I give you eggs every morning, most mornings you throw them on the floor but on rare occasions you eat them. I will keep trying because they're so good for you and I'm making them for your brothers anyways. You love bananas, baby cereal bars, nutri-grain bars, baby granola bars, banana pancakes, cereal, oatmeal (depending on the day) and most pouches as long as their heavy on the fruit and light on the veggies. For lunch and dinner you like grilled cheese, cheese, peanut butter and jelly, any kind of bread, spinach nuggets, quesadillas and turkey. You love to snack too! Puffs, veggie stix, anything sweet, you name it. You're a real big fan of vanilla ice cream too! <br />
<br />
You love to play with anything your brothers are playing with, they aren't so fond of this game. You also love to pull every book off of every shelf until it's nice and empty. Apparently a tidy shelf means more to you than a tidy floor. Toilet water and trashcans are just a few more of your favorites! Oh and my phone. Somehow you know you love my phone! <br />

I have enjoyed your first year way more than you'll ever know. To see your smile and the love in your eyes when you're with your brothers makes my heart so full of joy! You are such a sweet baby and so loving. You will frequently just lay your head on me or Daddy and pat us. It's just precious. I can already tell that you are going to love so deeply. I don't know who you'll be when you grow up and I wish that it wasn't going to feel like a minute before I find out. I wish I could just freeze time because it's going to break my heart when you aren't my baby anymore! I just pray that you follow God's path for you. That you love Him deeper than anyone else and that you find a way to make the world a better place. With that smile I don't see how it could go any other way! I love you sweet Knocky! </div>

Dear Ty Ty,<br />
So I am the world's worst blogger these days and I am just now getting around to your 4 year post. I'm just 4 short months late on that. Ugh! So here's a look at you...<br />
<br />
You are a bundle of emotions. I confess, I tend to refer to you as my 13 year old daughter. When you're happy, you're super happy but when you're mad, look out! Those moods can swing at any given moment without warning. You love so deeply but you are also hurt very easily and you have no problem letting the offender know that they've hurt you. Again, my thirteen year old daughter :)<br />
<br />
You really look up to Case and love to do the things that he does. This usually annoys him but he misses you on the rare occasion that you aren't together. You are each other's best friend. My heart feels like it might explode when I watch the two of you playing nicely together. Now that usually ends in a fight, at which point I think my head might explode instead but those sweet moments in between are precious. <br />

You are very social and love to be with your friends! You prefer that your "friends" be little girls that are older than you. Seriously. If we're out and I can't find you, I just need to look for the nearest pretty girl or lady and there you are. I'm worried about your future, or maybe about the girls in your future. </div>

You love to play with the kids at "The Circle", which is just the cul-de-sac by our house but all the kids around us meet and play there. Cora, is probably you're most favorite person at The Circle. She pretends to be your mom and takes you for rides on her scooter. You think she's pretty awesome. I couldn't get you to wake up in the car one day when we had gotten home and carrying you in wasn't an option. I tried everything, shaking you, talking to you, saying your name over and over and over again. Then I said, "there's Cora!" and your eyes popped open immediately. Oi vey!</div>

Your best friends are Case, Andrew, Caroline, and anyone else that's willing to do what you want to do. You are very social and don't really like to be alone. You love to wear a superhero costume and when you can't get away with that then a superhero hoodie with a face cover will do, 90 degrees outside or not. Swords and guns are another favorite toy of yours. No matter what size the sword or gun is, the waist of your pants was made to hold it. You love all your "weapons". You will help Case with puzzles for a little bit but tend to lose interest long before he does. You aren't a crafty kid because you don't really love to sit still. </div>

I think you are going to be into sports more than Case is. You both played on the same basketball team this past winter and you really held your own even though you were the youngest on the team. You're going to give soccer a shot next, which isn't my favorite sport but if you love it, I'm there! I'm really hoping you try baseball next summer and love it because I can't convince your brother to play again and I really loved watching him. Maybe you'll be my ball player! </div>

You and Case moved into a room together just before Knox was born. Daddy and I bought you (used because that's how we roll) bunk beds. You and Case really like being in the same room! You sleep on the bottom bunk and Case is on the top. <br />

You've got your own style. You hate when I pick your clothes out. When you pick your clothes out, you almost always pick these yellow mustard colored cords and a tee or your blue or green khakis and a character tee always with a character hoodie. It is so funny. You don't care what the temperature is, you just like to wear certain things. You roll to your own beat and don't care what anyone else thinks about it. <br />

You love to watch TV and movies! You probably don't sit as long as your brother does but you think Saturdays are pretty awesome because you get to watch a show while you eat. My favorite part about your love of movies is that you are always repeating random movie quotes. You always pick the funny ones. Sometimes it catches me off guard to see how funny you are at only 4 years old! <br />

You LOVE sweets! I limit them because you get an upset tummy really easily. You puke when you drink chocolate milk or eat too much junk. This has happened about 3 or 4 times now. Let me remind you at this point that puke is my kryptonite! It makes me want to hand in my mom card and run for the border! So I'm probably overly careful with sweets and you. Aside from sweets, you love to have oatmeal or cereal for breakfast. You drink milk (white) at every meal and would drink it in between if I let you. You would prefer to have peanut butter and jelly for lunch AND dinner but I <i>usually </i>don't accommodate that for you. You'll usually eat pepperoni pizza, grilled cheese, hot dogs, turkey, pancakes, bananas, and that's probably about it. You claim that you love carrots but usually won't eat them so I'm not buying it!<br />

You're a good sleeper. You are still napping around 2 to 4 most days, with sleep probably only being about 1 to 1.5 hours of that. You get to stay up after Case at night for about 30 minutes and have some iPad time. This is probably your favorite 30 minutes of the day! If I have a middle of the night visitor, it's usually you with a bad dream and you sure do have some weird ones! </div>

You are much more sensitive and aware of death than Case is so when Poppy died you had a lot of questions. You still ask random questions now and then. Before Poppy died, you loved to visit him and play with his hands and ride on his scooter or walker with him. He was your buddy for sure! I hope you'll always have memories of him! He sure did love you and your brothers!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
You are such a snuggler. You still love to be cuddled when you're sad. You're super ticklish and pretty much melt into a ball if someone touches your neck. You can be very mischievous but also very kind and obedient. You don't hesitate to let someone know, usually in a rather loud voice, if you feel as though they have wronged you somehow. You've slammed many a door in your short 4 years (usually because I'm the one who has "wronged" you in some way). You're so loving, and so naughty, and so funny and I just wouldn't change a thing about you! I wish I was better at creating a picture of you with words because I never want to forget the four year old you! I love you with all my heart and I hope you ALWAYS know that!!! Happy (VERY BELATED) fourth birthday my sweet boy! <br />

Dear Knox,<br />
<div>
Sorry about missing your 7 month post. Mommy just didn't get around to it. Maybe if your mommy was capable of making these posts quick, she would have made it happen, but alas your mommy is crazy and feels as though each post should be its own dissertation. I bet you even get bored reading these posts. Oh well, it doesn't matter, I'm guessing this one will end up just as long as the others, so put your interested face on along with a pity smile and keep reading. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here's a look at you at 7 AND 8 months:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Eating: You're a disaster! You are picky, I mean, wouldn't eat anything that wasn't laced with bananas picky. You're getting better but it's been a slow process. Your favorite food by far is bananas. Not store bought baby food bananas but straight from the produce aisle and mashed up bananas. That's great and all but they made you super constipated! I mean constipated like I've never seen a kid constipated before. Somehow through most of that you stayed happy though. You have progressed in this area and expanded your allowable repertoire to include most any fruit but as for veggies, you're not having it. Not even sweet potatoes, well unless of course they are hidden in some type of fruit. I still can't get you to drink out of a sippy cup and I am pretty sure I have bought one of every kind out there. You're not interested. </div>

I would say your very favorite (aside from homemade bananas since I had to nix those) is store bought pears (ya, you don't like those homemade... PICKY). You're pretty tolerant of all the fruit and veggie mixtures out there though. You love baby yogurt and dill pickles too. Yes, dill pickles. I don't know why but you can't seem to get enough of sucking on them. You are getting solids three times a day. Breakfast continues to be a challenge as you don't eat much in bottle or solids form. When you get a bottle you never finish the whole thing unless you fall asleep while drinking it. We've starting giving you a 6 ounce bottle when you are going to sleep because you've never increased from 5 ounces on your own. Maybe that's fine. I don't know. This is ONLY my third time around you know. While, we're on the subject of eating, you should know that you are a MESS! I mean seriously! I can't feed you without you putting your hands in your mouth, your bib in your mouth, chewing on your highchair, blowing raspberries, which are extra effective when you have a mouth full of food, or having you take the spoon out with your baby ninja moves. I have never successfully fed you without you having food up your nose. I'm not kidding. You're the messiest eater EVER! </div>

Your overnight sleep is still unpredictable. You are usually ready to sleep around 8. Daddy feeds you again in your sleep around 11 and from there all bets are off. Sometimes you make it until 7:30 (this is not the norm) other times you make it until 5 or 6 and yet other times you want to eat again at 2:00. Unpredictable. The good news is that you go back to sleep easily in the middle of the night so that makes me enjoy that snuggle time with you. It's just you and me and it's quiet. Granted I do love a good nights sleep sans the intermissions but if I have to get up I can think of anything else I'd rather be doing than snuggling up with you in your chair. </div>

You are comfortable in 9 months clothes. Still no shoes. In fact I don't even see shoes in your future with the weather (hopefully) getting warm soon. Socks are fine. You are in a size 3 diaper but probably getting close to a 4. </div>

Toys: You love your walker. You like your exersaucer for a little bit and the same with your jump-a-roo. You love to sit on the floor and have toys surrounding you. That's probably your very favorite thing to do. You love to chew on everything, especially your teether and your teething necklace. <br />

I've turned around to see you up on all fours occasionally and I'm pretty sure my face is filled with sheer terror in those moments. What am I going to do when I can't put you down and expect you to at least be in the same room where I left you. We haven't had to put the gate on the steps yet but I have a feeling that day isn't far off, whether you're crawling or just rolling with a purpose, that day is drawing near. You are now working your walker like a boss! I mean you can direct it and follow me everywhere in it. It's so fun to watch you speed walking through the house in it, well except when I sweep up a pile and you drive through it. That part is not so awesome. It is also a race for me to get everything I need out of the fridge before you get to it. I usually lose and within seconds you have the thousand island dressing. That seems to be the condiment of choice. <br />

Sometimes the stories and the tears and the empty arms are just too much. I should back up. I help with a support group for perinatal and infant loss. That is anyone who has ever lost a baby whether they ever took a breath or not, whether that baby had only lived inside of his momma for 9 days or 9 months. Any momma (or daddy) who has ever dealt with a loss is welcome to this group. <br />
<br />
I've heard stories. Stories that will bring you to your knees. Stories of broken hearts, broken hope, broken relationships. Just brokenness. Stories, that bring me straight home to where my babies are sleeping. Stories that totally make me see through the mischief of the day to the blessing of every single breath that my babies take. I am blessed and I am grateful for the reminder but sometimes it is too much. The pain that I see on the faces of these mommas is untouchable. They can't be fixed, nor do they want to be. Being fixed means that piece that they're missing never existed. That the baby that brought them to our group didn't happen. These mommas' lives are upside down and inside out and all I want to do is say something that will put something back in its place. Something that will lift a small corner of the grief filled box that is sitting on their chests making it hard to breath. But who am I? I sit there with nothing other than my own losses as my training. There's no PhD at the end of my name and no Dr. at the front of it. But there I sit just praying that God will give me the words that He wants these mommas to hear. Most of the time I fail but I pray that if nothing else these mommas leave without feeling alone. I pray that these mommas leave without thinking that their baby was forgotten by the world. God has been so good to me and carried me through things that I sure couldn't have gone through alone and I just pray that He will do the same for these women. <br />
<br />
Tonight was hard. It was too much. I feel like I have no business being one of the people that these ladies come to in the midst of their broken worlds. I sure don't deserve that privilege but God has put me there. And I just pray that He will drive this program to a place that brings glory to Him. To a place where these mommas find purpose in an impossible situation. I pray that they use their babies lives, no matter how brief, to change the world. To remind the world to see, I mean really see, their blessings. I know I am grateful for the reminder and for the opportunity to sit with these brave mommas. So tonight in the midst of it all being too much, I'm just grateful. Just so grateful.Bev Johnstonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13851926735190102852noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339303554685432563.post-33711392507942075142015-01-22T23:20:00.002-05:002015-01-22T23:20:48.401-05:00Knox is 6 MONTHS!<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Dear Knox,<br />
So that happened. 180 days have past since you were born. You are officially halfway to a year. In some aspects when I think back to the day you were born, it seems like it could have actually been 6 months but when I think about how fast you've changed it seems like it's just gone SO fast. I have no idea if you are my last baby. But what if you are? It's probably a good thing that we don't know if you are the last because this day would be even harder if I knew you were. I just want to really be in every moment that I have with you. I want to remember every smile and every snuggle and the way you smell and the way you love to hold my hand when you fall asleep. I don't ever want to forget the 6 month you! <br />
<br />
You are seriously such a good baby. You cry pretty much when you're hungry or you want to just be held. At times I get irritated that you just want to be held, when I'm in the middle of something but if I stop and really think about that, what a blessing it is. You are comforted by my touch. You just want to be with ME. I'm SO grateful that my touch can do so much for you. I'm overwhelmed by the privilege of being your momma, the one that you just need sometimes. How sad my days are going to be when I'm not just needed anymore. <br />
<br />
Because I don't want to ever forget, here's a look at you at 6 months old...<br />
<br />
Eating: You are eating about 5 ounces at each feeding. The timing of your feedings are still unpredictable. In the mornings, you still don't really want to eat much but in the evenings you want to eat about every 2 hours. That's newborn stuff kiddo! We tried to give you rice cereal, let me rephrase that, Daddy forced me to give you rice cereal by threatening to do it when I wasn't there. He thought it was time, and he was right. I was putting it off. It's not my favorite. You're messy... not just you, all babies are messy. I guess you have to learn to eat at some point, or at least I hope you do. You weren't a fan of rice cereal so I tried oatmeal. Not a fan of that either. We might just have to skip both and try some sweet potatoes but because your momma is a rule follower, I'm going to wait until we go to the doctor on Monday for your 6 month check before I make any decisions. In the meantime, you're happy with your bottle and I'm happy to not have to feed you with a spoon :) <br />

Sleeping: For four nights in a row you didn't get up in the middle of the night. You slept through the night. Since you're my third I knew not to get my hopes up. I was right. You were back to normal last night. That's okay. Once I get out of bed and get my hands on you, I'm happy to spend that quiet time with you in the middle of the night, which is about 4:00am (probably a wake up time for some but it's the middle of the night for me). So we're going to continue with a late night feeding around 11pm brought to you by Daddy and a "middle of the night" feeding around 4am brought to you by Mommy. You are still napping twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. I usually can time it right so that you and Ty are napping at the same time for at least part of the time in the afternoon, which gives me a chance to do some work because Case usually gets iPad time then. Probably too much iPad time. I'm not sure how to do all that needs to be done without that time. You're Momma is FAR from perfect. You'll come to realize that.<br />

SIDENOTE: Do you know how hard it is to type your 6 month post while getting a detailed explanation of how Spider-man climbs? Let me just tell you, it's no picnic.<br />
<br />
Clothes: You are between 6 and 9 month clothes now. Some 9 month stuff is a little big. I've never had a kid who's clothing size was actually close to their age before. Weird. Your brothers, especially your oldest one was probably in 12 month stuff by this point and he sure wasn't only drinking 5 ounces in a bottle either! Still no idea on shoes. You'll be lucky to have those even when you're walking. You are in size three diapers now. I still squeeze you into size two's every now and then but lucky for you, your aunt is expecting a baby so I'm going to use the rest of the size two's for a diaper cake. You're welcome. <br />

New Things: You are very steady sitting now. You still fall over occasionally but for the most part you are really steady now. You are occasionally holding your own bottle. Awesome!!! I think that's about all for the new things department but you changed so much from 4 to five months I'm okay with that! <br />

Case is still your absolute favorite form of entertainment! You just light up anytime you see him and you still laugh the greatest belly laughs when you watch his antics (which no one else quite gets). I don't think anyone else thinks he's nearly as funny as you do! <br />

I can't wrap my mind around the fact that you'll be a little boy running around in the midst of all our chaos soon. It just breaks my heart to think that pretty soon you aren't going to need to hold my hand to go to sleep or need me to hold you just because. You're going to go and grow up just like your brothers did. I am excited to see who you become but no rush there kiddo! Take your time and just be little. I love you Knoxy! <br />
<br />
Love ALWAYS,<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You are 5 months old. That's getting really close to 6 months, half of a year. That's CRAZY! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sleep: You're sleeping about the same at this point. You stay up late with Daddy although you are usually sleeping through most of that time after about 9. Daddy feeds you one more time before bed and down you go. The big news in this department is that you are now sleeping without your arms swaddled. You're still wearing your swaddle sack but you're only swaddled with your arms out. Woohoo! One step closer to no swaddle sack!</div>

Eating: You are still not a "breakfast" person. You'll eat your early morning feeding and then you don't really want anything for a long time. Once you do eat it's not more than 3 ounces if that usually. Then a few hours later you're back to normal and wanting to eat close to 6 ounces. In the evenings you're cluster feeding. Lots of every two hour feedings in the evening! You're just really hard to predict!</div>

You've started rolling back to belly. You don't really love to stay there long but you're doing it on occasion! I will have to catch it on video for your next post but for now there's no video evidence. <br />
<br />
You took your first antibiotic too. You'd had a cold for the better part of two weeks so I called the doctor and he called you in some Amoxicillin. The same day you started it your cold developed into <a href="http://www.webmd.com/children/tc/croup-topic-overview" target="_blank">croup</a>, which the antibiotic wouldn't treat but they wanted you to stay on it to prevent you from getting anything else. You were pretty pitiful. None of your brothers have ever had croup up to this point so this was s first for me too. A croupy cough has a very distinct sound to it. The croup took you to your first trip to immediate care, of course you didn't cough once while we were there. <br />
<br />
About 8 days into your 10 days you developed hives... lots of them. They were weird as they would come and go and move all over. I called the doc on call and they didn't want to rush into saying you were allergic to Amoxicillin but they did have us stop giving it to you. The hives came and went for about 5 days before they went away completely. You never seemed to mind though. See, You had all kinds of firsts this month! <br />
<br />
It's been another great month with you, even though you were sick through most of it. Your smiles never stopped though. You are such a kind baby and this momma loves you more than I could ever put into words. Love you little man!!! <br />
<br />
Love,<br />
