I also want to give a shout out to Katy over at In Hannah's Honor to say thanks for Gracie's beautiful wooden memorial plaque. If you haven't visited her Etsy store, yet, check it out!!

THE BOTTOM
I can't say that it was completely without warning, but I was still a bit surprised when I had the biggest emotional 'break' that I have had in the last 6 months in the shower this morning. I can honestly say that I thought that I was past this point, at least until we start reliving the emotions when Jellybean arrives, but I guess that I was wrong. Perhaps I am going to run this emotional roller coaster now and have less of it when Jellybean arrives? Who knows. All I know is that I was so shaken this morning that I did not go to work, and generally it takes being at death's door to keep me home. In light of the fact that I was emotionally feeling so shitty, Jeff and I finally put up the shelf that his parents got us for Christmas. It was specifically for us to display some of Gracie's things. It has helped me to feel a little better, but just a little.

It is such a rollercoaster ride we are on. It still shocks me how intense the 'down' feelings are... but I supose it is a sign of how much we loved and miss our chidren - and always will.
The shelf is beuatiful and I love the quilt, did you make it for Gracie?
