    Brooklyn

    It's hot and I'm pregnant!  Not sure how much I will continue to blog on Jolee's website.  I might start a new blog to share photos of Blake and funny stories etc but I don't get around to blogging much in the first place so we'll see.  I want to continue to share our CDH experience - it's changed as time goes on.  First we wanted to share updates about Jolee.  Then it was nice to know that we're not alone as we grieved the loss of our baby girl.  We've celebrated her first birthday and I want to thank those who helped contribute to Ronald McDonald House with us.  I hope we can continue this tradition to remember Jolee and help others.  Now that we're expecting again I hope it helps to share our experience with pregnancy after losing a baby to CDH.  I had a third trimester ultrasound and everything is still looking good.  We got to see our new little girl (we're planning on naming her Brooklyn) on 3D ultrasound!  I've been really happy with the midwives group that I'm going to.  The last one that I saw took a look at my chart and just started off asking how I was really doing.  We've started cleaning up the baby room.  We've had to put some of Jolee's things away for now but Brooklyn has to have her own room.  She's not a replacement for Jolee and Jolee will always have a place in our home - but our home is only so big!  Blake totally understands that Brooklyn is not Jolee even without us explaining it to him.  He's pretty sweet.  He calls Brooklyn and Jolee "baby friends."  He's going to be a good big brother. 
     
    Anyways - hi to everyone!  I keep up on your blogs and think of you often.  Krista
