About Me

I started this blog to help vent my frustrations after my firstborn child, Jonah Bentley Willis was delivered stillborn. I now have another child in Heaven, Harper Bailey Willis. Harper was delivered at 21 weeks and he was much too small to survive. This is the story of how Jonah and Harper shaped my life and how they always will.

Harper's Due Date

I can't believe that Harper was supposed to be here, living and breathing, by now. He was due today but Dr. Bruhn would've never let me go to 40 weeks, I would've probably had him the first week of February at 37 weeks. But still....I can't believe I have reached another baby's due date and not brought home a child.

Thoughts of Harper's delivery seem to fill my mind these days. I can't seem to get it out of my head. I guess this is because it was so traumatic. I mean, I almost lost my life. I had to pee in a bed pan probably two million times. I was in so much pain, the most physical pain I think I have ever experienced. I was nauseated. I was so confused and irritated that there was a problem yet again.

I know I am not supposed to understand, but that doesn't stop me from saying it. I do not understand why I had to lose two...TWO babies! I was so close both times. I held them both in my arms...and they were both so beautiful. And people think that this pain will eventually go away and that I will forget about it. Never. I couldn't forget about all of this if I tried.

I miss Harper today, as I do everyday. No matter what good things come my way, I can't seem to reconcile all that has happened in the past year...it sucks so bad. I want Jonah and Harper here with me now. It should have never been like this.

Changed My Mind...

So...I changed my mind about all those bright colors ;)! I decided to change to look of this blog again, to something a little more subtle. That is all for today, I promise!

New Look

I know that the new look to this blog is rather cheery. Trust me, that is not my intent! I just thought that the blog could use a facelift and I'm not afraid of color. Despite the sadness I feel, I do feel joy and happiness when I think of Jonah and Harper because they are mine...maybe that is why I chose the new colors/design here. And, it was a pain in the butt to get it to look like this so I won't be changing it for awhile :).

Anyways...I have started a new blog in order to keep people updated on my journey with IVF and a Gestational Carrier. You can follow it here. So many people have helped us get to this point, so I feel like I owe it to them to keep them posted. I could have blogged about it from here but I really want to keep this blog separate. This blog is not intended for all to see, really just for those who are babylost. Don't worry! I will continue to blog here. I will continue to vent my frustrations here. I will continue to talk about Jonah and Harper and how much I miss them. I will also be blogging about how much I miss them at my other blog, too. It just wouldn't be right not too :).

Thanks to those who stumble upon this blog and read it. I know that it is few and far between. I hope this blog helps someone else going through such heartache.

On another note, did I mention how much I miss Jonah and Harper? Gosh, it eats me alive most days, this sadness. I wish so badly that they were here....
