Day 7-Sacred Place

Walker and I love going to the temple, we have had some special experiences there that we will remember forever. The temple is one of my #SacredPlace to go and feel close to Manti. I love the feeling I get when we go it makes me feel at peace. #CaptureYourGrief

Day 6-Books

One thing I am excited about for the new baby is to read with them. Morning stories, afternoon stories, and bedtime snuggles complete with a story! I can't wait! Manti and his sweet grandma Tonda bought a #Book about owls for the baby right after we found out. I know Manti is telling his new little sibling many stories and preparing them for this life. I can't wait until it is my turn to snuggle up close with the baby and read Hoot and think of Manti the whole time. #CaptureYourGrief

Day 5-Journal

Having this blog has become my main #Journal to write about my feelings. I love that I can sit down and just write. Blogging has helped me sort out my feelings and become a stronger person. I feel calm when I write and feel at peace. #CaptureYourGrief

Day 4-Now

#Now I know some days will still be hard but I’ve realized that life does go on and you can be happy. I have my happy days, my sad days, and my mixed of emotions days too. Not too long ago we found out that our little family of three was growing! We will soon be a family of four and we couldn’t be more thrilled. We have wanted this for a while now and we are more than happy to take this pregnancy on with fear, smiles, anxiety, love, and most important HAPPINESS! #CaptureYourGrief

Day 3-Before

When I was young I learned that loving yourself was important. You had to love yourself so that you could love others. As I grew older and watched my parents love each other I wanted the same kind of love they had. I finally found love with Walker and I have been the happiest I have ever been. #Before I married Walker I didn’t know that you could love a person so much! It is an amazing kind of love. Then when Manti was born my love for a person grew even stronger. I now have a complete understanding of what love means. #CaptureYourGrief

Day 2-Heart

During my pregnancy I developed paroxysmal sinus tachycardia and had to go get Non-Stress Tests done twice a week just to make sure that Manti was ok and it wasn't affecting him. At the beginning I felt annoyed and didn’t want to go because my momma instincts knew that he was just fine! But as time went on I became excited to go and spend the next 20 minutes with Walker just relaxing and listen to our little pride and joys #Heart beat. It was strong, fast, and prefect. We loved listening to his rhythm and looking at each other and just smiling ear to ear. #CaptureYourGrief

Day 1-Sunrise

It is always refreshing to start your day with a pretty #Sunrise. It reminds me that it is a new day with a fresh start. Being in the situation that I am in it has been tough but there is always a new beginning to everyday. I am grateful that I can wake up refreshed with a sunrise that will help me get through the day. #CaptureYourGrief
