Oh Where, Oh Where, Did My Baby Go?

September 12, 2012

Sometimes…

I’ll catch a glimpse of Bella. Right here. Right now. And my breath is taken away that this girl used to fit in my arms. Completely.

How has almost 3 years passed by so quickly? One day this little face will be able to look me directly in the eyes, be as tall as I am.

But until that day comes, I love the glimpses of baby that I still can see in her. And she’ll always be my little one – no matter if she has to look down at me one day to talk.

She is my heart.

    She is beautiful!
    My daughter is 3 & I keep thinking by this time next year she probably won’t have any of that baby in her anymore so I am just holding on to this for as long as I can 🙂
    Gorgeous pictures!

    I am constantly taken aback by how grown up Laura has gotten. There are certain photos where I can just see exactly what she’ll look like as a grown-up in the blink of an eye.

{About Me}

Diana Stone

I'm Diana, and my blog is about loss, grief, motherhood, trauma, faith, moments of incredible wonder, candid thoughts, and a little snark. You can find more details on our story here.
Sam and I have been married since I was 19. He was 20. He's an OIF, medically retired veteran of the Army and Marines. We have 5 children - Bella was born in 2009 after a rather bumpy pregnancy and her first year was mostly crazy reflux. Preston and Julian, my identical twins, were born at 20 weeks in 2012 and lived only a few hours. Kaden was born full term in 2013 seemingly perfect, and at 4 days old he was found to have cardiomyopathy due to ciHHV-6. He passed away at 3 weeks old. Charlotte was born in 2015, and was a complete surprise to us. Each of them have changed our lives completely.
Currently I'm in school to become a counselor who focuses on trauma and grief.
I love Jesus - even though sometimes I get really angry and upset at the way our life has gone. I hope through my faults, insecurities, snarkiness, selfish nature, and general mess - my love for Christ and His work in my life shines through in my story.
