" Dance like nobody's watching; love like you've never been hurt; sing like nobody's listening; live like its Heaven on earth" - Mark Twain. Beyond all else, I am the wife to my very best friend and a mom to five amazing children. My blog is a little bit of this and a little bit of that, and what makes up my day to day with the love of my life Benoit and my boys, Olivier Nicholas, Joshua Etienne, Jacob Antoine, and our little miracle Riley Félix-Gabriel, and our final family member, our little princess, Juliette Alexia Mélirose...While remembering our children, Gabriell and Méliange who left us much too early...our Butterfly-Angels....Welcome to my little world...

What a day...I can't help but smile...Today all my dreams came true...Today my family is complete...Today is the end of a beautiful chapter in my life...Today is the beginning of a new one...
 
 
Our precious little girl was born after 20 1/2 hours of labour...She kept us waiting...But the moment she arrived...All was forgotten...
 
 
And today...Once again...We realized...How very fragile life is...How everything can be taken away from us...In an instant...Our little girl was born with the cord wrapped tightly around her neck and two true knots...Once again...We were told that our precious baby would not have made it much longer...We were hours away from loosing her...Once again..Angels were watching over us...And as we welcomed our little miracle into our family...I realized the date...October 23rd...Méliange's due date...
 
 
The moment they put her on me...Tears rolled down my face...She was here...She was home...
 
 




 


October...Once Again...

Its October...Once again...
 
But this year...
 
I smile...

It has found its beauty once again...

My world is complete...

My heart is happy...

Somewhere over the rainbow...

Dreams do come true...

Hours before holding our precious baby girl...

Time

 
The final ultrasound is done...
 
And she's perfect...
 
 
 
The final doctor's appointment...
 
Is over...
 
 
 
The months...
 
Have turned into weeks...
 
The weeks...
 
Have turned into days...
 
The days...
 
Can now be counted in hours...
 
 
 
October 22nd
 
What a day...
 
After a lifetime of waiting...
 
She will have made it home...
 
And our family will be complete...
 
A new chapter in our lives...
 
Is about to begin...


The Beauty Of Fall


Soon To Be Big Brother


Clothes...And Clothes...And Clothes...

She hasn't even arrived...
 
And yet...
 
Already has more clothes than me
 
 


The Big Step...

This baby arrives in less than a week...
 
And yet...
 
Here I sit...
 
Surrounded by her clothes...
 
All the tags still on...
 
How hard it is...
 
To take this final leap...
 
This big step...
 
Cutting off the tags...
 
For a mommy who has lost...
 
Its such a very hard thing to do...
 
 
 
But I know its time...
 
Time to have faith...
 
Time to have hope...
 
Time to believe...
 
Everything is going to be alright...
 
My baby girl...
 
Is coming home...
 
 
 

October 15th...

 
October 15th, is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day...Today we stand together - holding hands -and light a candle - honouring all our babies gone to soon...But in a mother's heart - they are always remembered - always loved - never forgotten...In memory of the babies I lost - and 2 beautiful little angels Gabriell and Méliange - missing you every day...every day of forever...
 
 
 
I Am Forever Changed
For Having Known
The Gift That Was You...
 
I Miss Who You Were
Who You Would Have Become
And Who I Was Going To Be...
 
But I Am A Better Person
For Having Known You
If Only For A Moment...
