I'm new to the world of blogging and I'm not a good writer, but I thought it would be a good way to let people know what is happening in our lives.
Today will be a month since we said goodbye to our little monkey. Baby Connor was still born at 36 weeks and 2 days on Tuesday, April 14, 2009 at 9:35 am. He weighed 4 lbs and 11 oz. and was 18 inches long. He was so precious. He had my nose and Brett's lips and he had the Lowney pinky toe. He definetly had Brett's feet and some might say he had mine since I have big feet too. I still can't believe that this has all happened. I'm just waiting to wake up from this nightmare. I had such a perfect pregnancy that this never once crossed my mind that this could happen to us.
On Monday, April 13, 2009 I went in for my 36 week appointment. Those appointments were so silly at the time. I was always in and out in 15 minutes and didn't think that Brett should have to come to them since he would have to take time away from work and everything was going well. My life came shattering down at that appointment when they couldn't find the heartbeat with the Doppler and two ultrasounds and it was just me with the doctors. The doctor didn't waste any time and called Brett who was on his way to work. For an hour I sat in the doctor's office waiting for Brett and my Aunts. We were admitted into the hospital and at 5:00 pm they started with the induction. Mom and Carly were on the next flight out and didn't get into Atlanta until about 11:00 and my Dad and Mitchell arrive the next day at 2:00 pm. Brett's Mom and Sister arrived Monday night too!! We were so lucky to have the love and support of our family as we went through this. We were able to spend time with Connor and our family. I will forever treasure those moments that we got to spend with our baby.
We spent the next two weeks with my family. On May 2, 2009 we had a memorial service in Mattapoisett, MA where I grew up. It was absolutely beautiful and we are so grateful for all the love and support that we had there that day. Baby Connor is in a safe place with our Grandparents!! We look forward to the day were we will all be together again! We Love You and Miss you!!!

Erika,
I will never forget the day that my grandson was born into heaven. I imagine him with PapaJohn and with MeZan. I am sure they were there with open arms for him. By now he has heard all of Papa's stories and both Mezan and Papa are spoiling him and just loving him. I too treasure the moments that we got to spend with Connor. He was born into an amazing family and together we will all get through this. I love you! Mome
