twenty-six

the other day, as i was driving, i realized something... i'm the same age and the exact same amount of weeks pregnant as my late sister-in-law amy was when she was hospitalized for a blood clot in her brain. her little baby was delivered via emergency c-section when he was only 26 weeks developed. after 3 months in the nicu and multiple surgeries, he was released and is now a healthy, inquisitive little 4 year old boy.


it amazes me to think that my baby could possibly live outside of my womb right now. she still feels like a little alien moving around inside me, but she's a real little human. that is just amazing to me.

sometimes those moments just hit us right?

me and my mom were talking about how much we liked you the other day. she said she ran into you. thats how it came up. we don't talk about you everyday or anything... I mean, not that we wouldn't enjoy talking about you... umm. yeah. anyway.

i can't believe how much that story just seems like a story to me.. i've heard it so much, and know the details so well, but don't have any memories about it because i was gone. but it's always inspiring to think back on, and makes me realize our families are so much stronger than we know.

You look so cute pregnant Diana. And by the way don't EVER worry about Ava bothering us. We love her to death. She's so adorable. I'm so excited for your upcoming new arrival too.

Ok so I know you are prego... but that picture of you was kind of a shock. I haven't seen you in so long so in my mind I don't picture you that way. Anyway, congrats... again!

Did you get your invite to Emily's shower? We are apparently having problems with them being delivered!

diana said...

sarah- sorry. i was just amazed at the realization that my baby no longer looks like an alien

chels- it's good that you and your mom like me, 'cause i really like the both of you too. i can't believe you guys don't talk about me more often.

trev- i always forget that you were gone during all of this. it's kind of becoming a story to me too. kinda sad.

celeste- thanks for feeding and reading to my child during church. she always has more fun visiting other people during church.
