I left the house today. I mean, I left the house for something other than something I was forced to leave the house for. Well, Chris and Mom sorta "forced" me but the point is, is that I did it. Mom and I usually do some sort of shopping on Mother's Day. So I left the house today. I did a little shopping with my Mom. I went to Target, Kohl's and CVS. Nothing too exciting. Mom even offered a pedicure but I declined. It's too soon for that I think. Those poor women may not understand if I start weeping while getting my toes done. I wouldn't want them to think they were hurting me ;).
I got part of the most beautiful ring today (the other part is being shipped here). Since before Christmas, I have said I wanted a stackable mother's ring. You know, the sort of expensive ones. 3 bands with sapphires and diamonds since Jaxon, Camron and Caden are all September babies and 1 band with emeralds and diamonds because Jordan was a May baby. I love it. It's just what I wanted.
I also got a very unexpected surprise today. One I'm still not quite able to wrap my mind around. My bif stopped by with a tissue box. I thought, silly girl, doesn't she know I have plenty of tissues around this house. The box was full of donations from our amazing church family. We definitely have the greatest Sunday School family and MOPS family ev-er. I am so at a loss for words...and those of you who know me well, know that is NOT an easy things to do. Thank you all so much. We love you dearly.
For all of you Mommy's out there. I hope you had a great Mother's Day. This was the hardest Mother's Day I have ever had BUT God has given me 3 healthy boys and for that I am thankful. I am thankful that the one I lost is in heaven smiling down on us, awaiting the day we will again be together. In the midst of my pain, in the midst of this emptiness, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I am blessed.

Happy Mother's Day Jenn. I have thought about you all day today. Wondering how you were doing and knowing today would be so hard. I am so proud of you for "getting out" and am praying that each day God will give you more strength than the day before. I sure miss you. Know that you are so loved and that we are still praying for you and your precious family.
(((hugs)))
i'm so proud of you!
I thought about you all day yesterday, Mother's day. I know it must have been a difficult day for you, but I also know that your 3 boys were loving on their super momma! So glad to know you have so many people surrounding you to encourage, support, and yes, even force you out of the house from time to time.
Continuing to pray for more "baby steps" to come......
Love you,
Ali
Jenn,
I am so awed by the way you are handling your grief. You are amazing! I know yesterday was hard for you. I thought about you all day long and said prayers throughout the day asking God to give you extra strength to make it thru such a difficult day and asking that He would give you little things to smile about. I'm glad you were able to get out of the house and do something "normal" even if it was just for a bit. Like you said...baby steps...one foot in front of the other. Each day will get a teensy bit easier to bare, although you will never forget. Love you girl! Keep trusting Him!
