Day 28 ~ Capture Your Grief ~ Memory

Day 28 of Capture Your Grief wants us to share one of your most significant memories on this journey of grief, it can be a positive or negative memory.

I’ll always remember seeing Carleigh on the 3D US that we had done. It was so amazing seeing her move and kick around. There was so much love in my heart for her in those moments. She had the chubbiest cheeks just like her big sister. I never got to see Carleigh alive other than in her ultrasounds so being able to see her in 3D was certainly a gift. I treasure the video that we have of her.

Just the little things

I've noticed a few things about Carleigh as she hangs out in my tummy. Well, first of all she is very active, but I've also noticed some patterns in her behavior. She is more likely to be active around mealtimes. If I have music playing she will kick around but if I start singing she settles down-like my voice is soothing to her. She can be as active as can be and then when someone wants to feel her move she gets shy. I swear she moves around A LOT! I'm not making that up!! :) Early mornings and evenings she's more active too.

I know she probably has her arms and hands up by her head. On every ultrasound so far that's wear they have been! She's "camera shy" too. My last ultrasound was the first we were able to see her face and profile good. However, that only last a short period before she flipped over. Let's hope she cooperates a little better for our 3D/4D ultrasound on Wed.
