EDIT: This post has been in the works for several weeks now. Generally I would want to polish it up and make the photos look a little nicer before sharing, but I have too many friends bringing home brand new babies right now to selfishly worry about my “image” and perfectionism and keep this info […]
But we didn’t feel like grieving Logan was done. We began searching for other ways to feel like we were connecting with our son.
The last couple of weeks have been… bad. We’re not okay. And it’s hard to suppress the passive aggressive urge in me to follow that statement up with a “not that you asked.” Because this is lonely. And the sky is raining shitcannons on us on an almost daily basis. And I’m not myself. […]

Baby Meal Prep: Intro I don’t know why everyone lumps the entirety of the third trimester into one book.
