When you find out you're going to have a baby, things begin to change. Not just your body, but things like getting the baby's room ready, getting a different car to house the baby seat, and thoughts of what type of parent you are going to be. You begin to shift into this Mommy and Daddy (provider) role. You are no longer just a loving couple that is only responsible for yourselves, you now have another life to attend to. You begin to dream things like what will they look like, will they be smart, what kind of discipline will they need to grow and not need therapy later. Then all the firsts come to mind like birthday, Christmas, school...
Then all that comes crashing down. At only 21 weeks our baby was too little to survive out here. So now it's a whole new kind of change. We have to shift gears again. Back to what I'm not sure. Normal is a good option, but normal was life before baby. We can't pretend we didn't have a baby, because we did. And a pretty darn cute one at that. :) So I think that's my biggest hang up right now. Shifting gears...
I'm blessed, honored, and I thank God everyday that I have Jamie and that we have such an amazing relationship. Whatever shifting there is I know we'll do it together. Like he said the other day to Peter...We were made for each other.

Shifting gears is right. It's just figuring out which gear to shift to, but God knows which one and he will lead you there. Your feelings are natural and Stacy is right...amazing. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
