Last Wednesday we welcomed our little Gigi into the world. She is doing well and is a very sweet baby. I am completely in love with her. However, as much as my heart is filled with joy, parts of it are still so empty. Having Gigi has made me realize all the things I will never do with Sophia & Ellie; all the things they will never be a part of, all the things I will miss with them, with two babies. I have had a few moments where I thought, “Oh my gosh! This is so hard with just Gigi, how would I have handled it with Sophia & Ellie?” But I know I would have, it would have been challenging, but we would have managed and loved every second of it (well, almost!) But for now I am just loving life, the good with the bad not so good, because it has brought us to where we are today…and that is a pretty good place. I was feeding Gigi a couple days ago and looking at the girls’ sketch, trying to decide if she resembles them. I was overcome with such a warm feeling and at that moment I knew my girls are so happy and proud to be a big sister to little Gigi. I think they especially like that her middle name is a combination of their names. I wish they were here with us welcoming home our new little on, but I guess they are doing that from above.
I will write more details and post more pics later, I just wanted you all to know she is here!!
Oh many, many congrats!!!! She is BEAUTIFUL!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Beautiful little girl! :) Love the middle name combination of Sophia and Ellie. awesome idea
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! She is gorgeous. You would have been able to handle all 3, because we handle what we have to...just like you handled their death because you didn't have a choice.
ReplyDeleteThey are proud of her and you, and enjoying their sister from Heaven!
What a beautiful, beautiful gift you have received! She is absolutely perfect! I know you love her so much, and at the same time, your love for Sophia and Ellie is in no way diminished.Congratulations many times over!
ReplyDeleteCongrats again! I am so happy for you. For me, the grief did increase too once I had Kenzie. I had/have the same feelings. I think it is completely normal and if it isn't oh well cause I am right there with you! Again, congrats and give that cutie a little kiss from me.

I've been away for a few days and this is the best news to come back to. Gigi is beautiful, sending you so much love. x
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Tina! She is so adorable. I hope that as time goes by you find a good rythym and things fall into place. Can't wait for more pictures.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Tina and Hutch. She is amazing and I am so happy she is here. Sending much love xx
ReplyDeleteI'm a little late getting here to say, Congrats! She is absolutely beautiful.
ReplyDeleteShe is precious, Tina. I totally understand what you are saying. I think Nora looks a lot like Ella. It is amazing, yet heartbreaking at times. I love how your little fetus widget is empty now. :) xo
ReplyDeleteI was wondering what you were up to...guess this was it ~ what a beautiful little girl you made:) Congratulations and blessing on GIGI
ReplyDeletecongratulations! I have to say this is a huge coincidence. I too am a babylost mama, thats what lead me to your blog in the first place, and I too just had a baby girl. I had her in may. Her nickname is gigi. I thought that was a sweet surprise that your little one had the same name.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and welcome baby Gigi! I'm so happy for you. Happy news. xo
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! What a cute name! I love what you did for her middle name as well! Enjoy her!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Tina and family! Wishing you every happiness with your new absolutely georgeous baby girl.
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures and lovely blog. I must admit that guys inspire me way more than some babies! It's so simple, but yet so many tiny details which makes it subtle. :)
