Doing this blog post is VERY emotional for me. This time of year in general is VERY emotional for me. I have some new fans this year so let me just take a second to explain why… Wren, my beautiful, happy, full of life little girl is a rainbow baby; a baby born after a miscarriage or infant loss. Most of you have seen two of her older brothers, Logan and J, but she has a third. Thatcher. Thatcher’s second birthday is right around the corner. He was born sleeping on September 10, 2011. I was 19 weeks pregnant when he lost his little life. There will always be an empty spot in my heart where my hopes, dreams, and love for him would have been. His eyes never saw the light of this world and his voice was never heard but he left a HUGE mark on our lives. I miss him everyday. I think of him everyday. I read somewhere that the spirits of babies lost hand pick their brother or sister that comes after them knowing what we, their parents, need in time filled with such mixed emotions. I love the idea of that. If he did have a hand in sending us Wren then he knew EXACTLY what he was doing. I don’t want Wren to spend her life in the shadow of her brother… and i am hesitant to speak about Thatch and Wren together because i want her to always know she is here for a purpose. That being said… they are and always will be connected. My angel baby and rainbow baby.
Wren will be 1 tomorrow! I can’t believe that. Where has this year gone?! She is growing so fast and i’m blinking and missing it. Her personality is HUGE. She has lit up our lives and made our family complete. I kiss that face everyday and thank the good Lord that he chose me to be her momma. Happy Birthday to my girl… my Tookerton McFeany’s. I love you with all my heart, sweet girl. XOXO
