4th of July six years ago
Jul 5, 2007 5:19 AM
Thank you all for your replys and the encouraging words.
I am feeling a bit better. Every day will get better and better I am sure!
I wanted to post a memory form six years ago.
Six years ago on the fourth of July my husband and I went to watch the fire works along the river here(Columbia River). We were still newlyweds(married in Jan) and had just found out a few weeks prior that we were not just expecting one little miracle, but two. We felt so blessed and so lucky.
We brought a blanket and set it out on the grass with the other hundreds of people. Next to us a family had a baby about six months old laying on a blanket rolling around. The baby was so cute. I remember my husband and I talking about us having two babies on our blanket next year when we watched the fireworks. We were so excited. Every time a big boom from the fireworks would occur, the babies moved all around inside of me. We really got a kick out of that...they could hear and respond.
Seven days later I was in preterm labor and flown to a better hospital with a better NICU that was over two hours away. I was 22 1/2 weeks. The boys stayed in untill almost 25 weeks. We lost Jacob two days after he was born. We still have our Joshua.
Every year I remember that first fourth of July with my new husband and my twin sons moving aroud in my stomach. July is always a hard month because of all the memories. However, this memory is a wonderful one!!!! When we celebrate the twins' birthday it is wonderful too and a little sad. When the anniversary of Jacob's death comes I am sad and happy. I miss him, but he lived!! We can never ever forget him...I believe I will see him again someday.
I will enjoy my evening tonight with my family when we are watching the fireworks. I feel so fortunate to have my husband, Joshua, Hannah, Nathan, and this new little baby growing inside of me. My parents, my sister, brother and sister inlaw are coming also. I am sure Jacob will be able so see us.
Have a happy fourth of July!! I feel so lucky to live where I do!

- Jul 6, 2007 12:47 AMI have memories much like you do. I'll never forget the 4th of July I was pregnant with Phillip. He had finally started really moving around...and he did a number on me that night. I had him prematurely not long after - and he did not survive. Leighton was also born in July...10 weeks early. July is a very hard month for me!You have such a positive outlook - that's fantastic.Denise
