our journey with Olivia has changed and has developed into what our life is like with out her here on earth with us.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1047258274471936508.post-50053637057256457052011-12-03T23:11:00.000-08:002011-12-03T23:11:47.730-08:00December...December you are here... you remind me of the little yet huge things i am missing... you bring horrid flash backs to times that are so hard to face... december you are here and again you bring the unknown and scary heart breaking days with you....<br />
<br />
last December i anxiously waited for chris to get back to the states so we could have our baby girl. i didnt know what was going to happen , i was scared (TERRIFIED!) ... my life felt like i was walking in a tunnel that was pitch black and i had no idea where i was going.<br />
<br />
last December was when the happiest day of my life occurred... yet the saddest at the same time if that was even possible... Olivia started her fight and so did i.<br />
<br />
I am still fighting but i have lost sight of what i am fighting for... Olivia is gone and i no longer have to fight with doctors and nurses or with CHDs anymore....<br />
i feel so lost. she was such a huge part of my life and still not a hour in the day that goes by that she is not on my mind.<br />
<br />
i cant find my inner peace. today i was restless and angry and i feel like i cannot sort any of my feelings out.<br />
<br />
<br />
i hate that she is not here. i hate that i dont get to plan a party and have a smash cake. i hate that others know what i am feeling because they too have lost their baby... im losing sleep and i cant figure it out... i just hate it... December i hate you.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1047258274471936508.post-63099291546479808332011-10-24T07:29:00.001-07:002011-10-24T07:29:45.050-07:00....6 months<br />

you dont realize that not only will this take weeks, months, maybe even years to possibly rebuild...... you may not even be able to do this task.<br />
your words where hateful and untrue.<br />
your motives are still unclear.<br />
<br />
<br />
do you realize how many you are hurting?<br />
<br />
i guess if you did you wouldnt continue doing such hateful things. Grief works in funny ways. we all have our own ways of coping... but i think that maybe you should re-evaluate what you are doing. <br />

her little body is cold and pale and she was puffy... she was no longer moving and or breathing it was torture to watch it and it is burned in my memory forever... nights like tonight it is clear and even the smells of the hospital are burning my nose. the feeling of holding your childs lifeless body is the most horrible thing any person could ever go through... and it is burned into me... pray to god that you NEVER know this pain.<br />
<br />
i live with it every day... i go to bed with it and i wake up with it... i have to go through my life like i havent been touched by this pain....<br />
<br />
and peopl,e lie about it ... they make up story's about it... they tell others they have been in these shoes. they FUCKING lie about it... its sick. "mothers" throw their children in trash bins and beat them ... while i sit here staring at a urn with my daughters ashes... i know some woman that can understand what i am going through....but what about those of you who dont....???? ask yourself what would you do... yeah now times that pain you think you feel and multiply it by billions....<br />
<br />
and money yeah it could be a whole hell of a lot worst i do have a house that brings me shelter and clothes on my back but that doesnt mean that i am not struggling...<br />
<br />
<br />
right now i am just fucking sick of this pain... and until you have felt it ... you need to pray that you never do ... and know that even if you think we (me and the many other people dealing with this pain) are ok... we are not and we never will be.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1047258274471936508.post-20816882694984123552011-09-24T22:29:00.000-07:002011-09-24T22:29:41.518-07:005 months<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;">5 months ago I stood at your bed..shaking and crying. 5 months ago I watched you fight for your life. 5 months ago I gave you your last bath. 5months ago i told you there where angels and god waiting for you. 5 months ago I told you to not be scared. 5 months ago you took your last breath. 5 months ago your heart beat for the last time. 5 months ago was the last time I held you in my arms. 5 months ago I held an ANGEL. 1 in 100 babies are born with a heart defect. PLEASE spread awareness... because some one some where is remembering the last time they held their angel for the last time.</span><br />

I went out to the mall to look around and i found myself depressed that i will not be picking out Olivia's first Halloween outfit... and that there will be no cute picture of her tasting a sour candy for the first time... no more will i get to have those very happy loving cherished moments with my sweet baby girl... because she is not here anymore. she will forever be 4 months and 1 day old... she will never grow up with my other children and she will never go to prom. she will never have her heart broken by the boy in her 3rd period class or win a spelling bee... she will never feel the ocean one her little feet or fly on a plane... </span></span></span><br />

<br />
people dont want to reread this over and over. i am sure they are very aware that i miss my little love more than anything....<br />
<br />
I did however was added to a grieving mother group today and i couldnt help but thank god that my sweet angel was not murdered and that although she went through tremendous amounts of poking and prodding we tried our best to keep her comfortable and she smiled a lot! she did not get brutally murdered or die in a horrible crash.<br />
<br />
AND i know that NOTHING i did contributed or caused my daughters DEATH... i gave her life! and i loved her with ALL of my HEART. and knowing this helps me to continue to live each day for her and I both!<br />
<br />
as for our lives as of late Rainbow bean is looking good and NT scan went very well. very happy with the results ... baby looks beautiful.<br />
thank you olivia for helping god chose our rainbow baby.<br />

life has been this way this month. its getting very tiresome. the "normal" stress on my shoulders sometimes is to much for any sane person to carry , to make it through the day with out screaming and kicking and thrashing about letting everyone know "i cant fucking take it anymore" now for me throw on the stress anger and sadness of losing my first child and i should be screaming uncontrollable that i cannot take the pain anymore.<br />
i dont. i guess some days i dont even let myself feel the pain. I know myself i know what i am capable of. I am not ready to hit a downward spiral that who knows if i could recover from.<br />
<br />
Depression : Ive felt you before, i know what it feels like to have my life crash all around me a few times. I may only be 25 but those of you who know me best know i have lived .... live through things that one shouldnt have to be pushed and pulled and dragged through. Some how I am keeping you away depression ... some how i manage to get out of bed and do a daily mixture of stuff i feel i should be doing. Like getting a job. I need a job so i can hold on to what ever sanity i have left.<br />
<br />
Sadness: I hold you when there is no one around. times like this when i am sitting in my living room alone i cry, scream, sob, and wallow in self pitty ( i feel sorry for me and mothers like me that have to know this horrific pain) i try my best not to let you out around others... i mean it is very hard not to but i do my best . I dont want others to alienate me more than they already do. I lost my child it is not a disease you can catch dont worry if you come into contact with me you will not lose yours too (that is if he/she wasnt meant to die)... I dont talk to so many of the people i called friends about a year and a half ago. after finding out about Olivia they just stopped being around thats ok though i understand the " what i dont understand scares me " and the "i just dont know what to say" but thats not important.<br />
<br />
New: my life is new, its a new way of thinking and talking ,and loving a new way of just BEING. Every thing is the same but totally different.<br />
i am not the same person i was a year ago. I am not the same person i was 3 months 3 weeks and 2 days ago.<br />
<br />
Im running in circles in my head about all of this. Life and how strange it is.<br />
<br />
<br />
it really is.<br />

<br />
today making a shirt for evelynn to wear to the heart walk tomorrow has really fucked me up. i am so angry ... why the fuck does this happen!! MY BABY SHOULDNT BE DEAD! i shouldnt have to tell anyone that she is in heaven. she should be in my arms.<br />
<br />
i shouldnt have to be feeling so awful!<br />
<br />
I HATE these mothers i see that take it for granted. your fucking kid isnt promised! I hate the woman who have abortions like it is a form of birth control when so many of my friends struggle everyday because they cannot get pregnant.<br />
<br />
i am so angry.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
i dont know how to be calm and relaxed in this pregnancy... i have to face that there IS a chance that this baby can be sick too, that i can be sick with this pregnancy and to top it all off my baby died. now i am terrified that it can happen again.<br />
<br />
<br />
i fucking hate this. i hate how fucked up this world is.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1047258274471936508.post-12744309634506122322011-08-01T21:19:00.000-07:002011-08-01T21:23:32.732-07:00hello Augustwell blog you are almost a year old.<br />
i started you because of the horrifying news that my precious Olivia was going to be born fighting for her life. She was a fighter from day one.<br />
Oh how my life has change so much sense August 1st 2010.<br />
i was getting ready to get married to my husband. preparing little details of the wedding... talking and dreaming about my trip back to the UK and how excited i was to be making a family with my best friend.<br />
its amazing how much can change in a year.<br />
Not only have i grown to be such a stronger person i am also more caring and emotionally open to others. I love fully and have no shame in that.<br />
I lost my daughter to a cruel heart defect. i still do not understand why god had to take her but i do know that is not something that i should question. i am forever grateful for her and the joy that she brought into my life.<br />
Although i am torn to pieces inside and still wish everyday it was a dream. i want to wake up and she is still here. but i keep going.<br />
<br />
As of this Aug i suffer from PTSD and will turn pale white if my phone rings, i am anxious and i get panic attacks when i am in certain places. most of the time i feel ok. like i can get through but when i feel bad it is bad. I am pregnant and i know that stressing and panic is not good for me nor the baby so i try to talk myself down. i thank god daily that he gave me another chance to be a mommy... i get scared when i think about what could happen with this one but i try not to be scared. i have wonderful support from a lot of wonderful women and i dont think i would have made it this far with out them.<br />
<br />
i dont know what i will do later in this year i am dreading the Christmas season ... but i have to remain strong and stand tall and enjoy life to the fullest ...if not for myself then for my Olivia ... she fought so hard to be alive so i know that there is something to live for!<br />
<br />
<br />
i love you olivia. <3Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1047258274471936508.post-68025522793781984542011-07-21T10:26:00.000-07:002011-07-21T15:51:20.813-07:00a true blessingwell Chris and i found out on July 13th that we will be welcoming a new little bundle of joy to our family!<br />

i read a post from a fellow heart mom that reminded me that this anniversary was quickly approaching. I have been brought to my knees countless times in my life and once more tonight i am on my knees praying to god to see me through this dark time. to give me the strength to carry on in this scary world and to find light in my day.<br />
<br />
i am humbled and thankful for the amount of support and loving kind words that come from day to day cheering me on and reminding me truly how special Olivia's life was and still is to many. although she was only here for 4 short months she touched hundreds of people and with that thought i will go to bed thankful that god BLESSED ME with such and amazing baby girl. she surely will never be forgotten.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1047258274471936508.post-51758491894391329032011-07-08T11:32:00.000-07:002011-07-08T11:32:37.391-07:00bitternessso i am starting to think that maybe i should start doing a bunch of drugs, neglecting my family and running around on my husband because it seems like every piece of shit low life has a bunch of healthy children....<br />
<br />
so obviously if you know me you know that i would never do this to myself but it is something i am very bitter about. i don't understand how a DRUGGY can go on to have perfectly healthy children... how woman WHORES!!! can go on and pop out a bunch of children and neglect them.... i don't understand why GOD would allow this to happen....<br />
i did everything right ... i took ever good care of myself and the one thing, THE ONE THING that i love the most ...that meant EVERYTHING to me was ripped away from me.<br />
<br />
I went to the ER yesterday at 2pm and didnt go home until 1am. they did blood test...a pap...pelvic and an ultrasound (external and internal...) to find out that i have a large cyst in my uterus and one on my ovary. it is causing a lot of pain and i am 5 days late and my cycle is all fucked up. this makes me furious! why... why do i need more on my plate.... why do i have to keep running into a wall.<br />
<br />
home life isnt any easier with chris working 12 hour shifts.<br />
<br />
i just wanna call a time out ... or quit. i am so bitter.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1047258274471936508.post-42579334836867175032011-06-22T10:54:00.000-07:002011-06-22T10:54:58.779-07:00the sharp knife of short lifeIf i die young...<br />

<br />
thinking about the lyrics of this song... people start to listen when your dead? i remember the flood of friends request on my facebook... how the followers of my blog jumped up... still i get multiple request everyday...<br />
i wish that they got to see olivia when she was alive... i wish i didnt have to talk about her death... i wish she was here and i had nothing exciting to report. well i guess thats a lie... everything in my little miss's life was exciting... man i miss her.<br />
<br />
i have a interview today at carters. i really hope that i get it. i need something positive in my life. something to move forward to feel like i have something again. something to call mine. throw myself into work ... maybe make me feel a little better about where my life has dumped me off on the side of the road and said "here we are going to just stay here a while" then maybe i can find some flowers in this empty field or a butterfly to chase.<br />
<br />
Life at home could be a lot better but chris and i are working on being ok. some days are harder but what can you do.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1047258274471936508.post-52554266006699914182011-06-17T22:53:00.000-07:002011-06-17T22:53:16.061-07:00things are...just to hard right now...<br />
