I Wish

Today marks 10 weeks in this pregnancy and for us double digits is a huge milestone! I am starting to feel better which is amazing and my energy is slowly coming back which is nice because I am starting 2 more Grad School classes next week. You don't have to ask, yes I am crazy. ;)

Since we found out we were expecting there has been one thing constantly on my mind and I am certain it will always be on my mind. I am sad that I will never get to share this experience with my Mom. I wish she was here to see this miracle finally happening because she wanted this so much for us. I am sad that our baby will never have that special relationship with their grandma but I will make sure everyday that they know how much she wanted to be there for them and how much she loves them even though she isn't here. I will share stories about her and make sure this baby knows who she is and that her memory never fades.

Me and my Mom a few days after I was born.

I am so grateful that this baby will have so many amazing family members that will spoil them and love them but there will always be that wishing that my Mom was here to share in that joy as well. We have decided that if this little one is a girl she will share the same middle name as my Mom, which is Kay. 

I do however know my Mom is looking down on us and smiling.
