Six hours of labor brought me a 5lb 15oz little girl that changed me life. Just like bringing her sister here, it was defiantely a trial but the benefits were so far beyond the realm of imagination. I can't imagine life without her and I can't believe she is a whole year old. There are no words to truly express the feeling of holding a brand new baby in your arms, the ultimate gratitude for this little one really is beyond expression. Today she is walking and talking, and sitting down on your lap if you sit on the floor. I found the most beautiful little dress at OldNavy for my baby girl to wear on her big day (that being Sunday when we are having her party). Happy Birthday sweet girl, Mama loves you sooooooo much!
There is someone else's birthday that I would like to write about. This sweet boy has touched so many lives, mine included. The day I brought my daughter home from the hospital I found out that my best friend was going to lose her son. I cried over Charlotte, asking God why I just got gifted a beautiful healthy baby and my dear friend couldn't keep hers. I was so angry at the injustice in life.
Meet Miloh Brenner....
Miloh was born on October 17th 2011, at 18 weeks 3 days gestation. His early arrival was due to a birth defect called Anencephaly. This sweet baby was taken away from his mother and from this life much too early. Miloh has touched me more than any child besides my own and my brothers. He has brought awareness to the brutal reality of mothers that lose their children. There is not a day that goes by while I watch my daughters grow and develop that I don't think that Miloh should be right there with them, growing under his Mother's watchful eye, being made to laugh by his sweet older brother, being held protectively by his father. So on this day that I am celebrating Charlotte's first birthday, I would like to celebrate Miloh's birthday as well.
Sweet Miloh, you have touched us all, and you are one of the people I can't wait to meet when I get to that other side. I know your Mother misses you, your brother and Daddy too, but will all get to see you someday, so beautiful and innocent, having been nutured in the arms of the Almighty. We love and miss you desperately, you will always be in our hearts and minds.... Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday to two special little ones--
Charlotte & Miloh
