The 4 Month Marker

Just thought I would pop in and give a brief update. Yesterday marked four months since Kaden passed away. I sure do miss that little guy. The days are getting easier, I still have my moments, but I am starting to look forward to the possibility of being pregnant again (hopefully soon). Craig and I had a really great vacation, just the two of us. I have been following all the other babies that have made their arrivals, and the emotions that come thru their blogs brings me right back to the NICU--like it was yesterday. It is amazing how those feelings get burned into your being. Does that make sense? I was deeply, deeply, deeply saddened to hear that Jackson Beal earned his wings while we were gone to Mexico. His story was so similar to Kadens, and I was praying so hard that their outcome would be different than ours. Candice and Rob are in our prayers during their healing. The days after can be a serious emotional roller-coaster. Also praying for Ireland who made her entrance into the world two days ago. She is on ECMO now, but doing good and getting the rest that she needs for her surgery. Mikey and Chanda-you guys are in my thoughts constantly. It really stinks to have to go thru all this, especially after a c-section.

Anyway, just want you all to know that we are still here, taking it day by day:)

  1. Hi Kristi,
    Wow, 4 months already? I'm glad that you posted and I'm glad you guys had a wonderful, much needed and well deserved vacation.
    We think of you and Kaden often. I sometimes visit your blog just to see the little guy. He was so incredibly handsome...too cute for our corrupt world! ;-)
    Wishing you lots of luck in the baby department! Thanks again for posting, it was so nice to hear from you guys (I don't have your email, so I couldn't write you.)
    Take Care,
    Sheryl

  2. I'm glad you enjoyed your getaway. I really can't believe it's been 4 months already. I can't imagine how agonizing it must be to keep reliving it through all these blogs. You both are amazing!

  4. I have read yout entire blog and my heart goes out to you and your wife it brought me to tears. As a mother of 3 myself I have to say I have never even heard of CDH (I had to look it up on the internet) but like most people unless it is affecting you a lot of people are unaware and I have learned something from your story. Best of luck and I hope you guys get pregnant soon. My prayers are with you and your family. Brandy McEntee Kroll
