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!!

  22. Congratulations! 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.

    They are proud of her and you, and enjoying their sister from Heaven!

  24. Congrats 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.

  39. She 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

  41. congratulations! 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.
