Preparing for Life & Death at Once

November 10, 2021-

30 weeks today. Praying hard she will hold out for us another 3 weeks so we can induce labor and hopefully meet our girl.

Calls have been made to the funeral home, we are blessed with family who are donating a burial plot, we have plans for photos after delivery, we took maternity photos with our awesome photographer who fit us in, we have an amazing friend working on a burial grown for Josie and we have funeral clothes ordered for us.

As hard as these steps have been, and as many breakdowns that have happened, I’m feeling grateful for this extra time to plan for her delivery, funeral and burial. Once I deliver and she passes it will hopefully save us from some of the stress and extra details and decisions we would otherwise be so emotional about.

It’s been a blessing and a curse to have all this information on our girl and know she will be leaving us. But it makes every second with her and every time I feel her move much more meaningful Daddy even felt her kick for the first time last week

Thanks for everyone who has checked in and supported us through this so far. We know it’s only going to get harder from here, but we feel so strengthened by our family and friends.
