I have missed blogging and I want to start now and document our life and adventures! We have been so incredibly blessed and I figure if I can just give someone hope who has experienced similar trials as us, then I will be happy!
We found out we were expecting our rainbow baby last May and gave birth to our beautiful, perfect and petite little girl, Eleanora Sandra on January 13, 2016. Even writing this makes me tear up because of the happiness she brings to our life! We call her Nora. She is Trey's mini-me! She looks so much like him and even has his red hair! She has stolen our hearts. Even Kohen has said since we brought her home how cute she is and how much he loves her. She resembles our angel boy Maddix so much. At times it freaks me out because they could be twins! As she has gotten older she has definitely taken on a more feminine look, and she's so small! The resemblance is there though. Although all of our kids look so similar!
A rainbow baby is a baby born after the loss of a baby. They bring hope and light, but do not erase the damage of the storm. The joy she gives us is indescribable. She is so precious. She symbolizes so much; that happiness is still possible even after tragedy. That trials are for our own growth and development and if we continue on in life with faith, everything will be ok. The Lord will never leave us. He has a plan for each and every one of us.
Nora is 7 months old now. Kohen is 4. There are still moments like right now where I can't believe all that we have gone through in the 5 years Trey and I have been married. 3 babies. 2 deaths. 8 moves. Countless diapers. A million kisses. Hundreds of bedtime stories. At least 12 Harry Potter marathons. And so many priceless and precious memories. I'm so thankful to have Trey by my side in all of it!!!
Kohen is the apple of my eye. He makes me laugh daily! And he is so smart! He attends a Spanish preschool and is doing very well with it. Trey has been consistent with speaking only Spanish to him and it's been so fun so see Kohen catch on. Kohen loves dinosaurs, power rangers, ninja turtles, spider-man, and did I mention dinosaurs?? He loves being outside, swimming and riding bikes. He's tall for his age and he is the most loving and kind child. I'm so proud of the little boy he is! He teaches me more about myself and life and always keeps me on my toes.
I'm excited to keep better track of our life from now on! We have some amazing plans for our future and we love that you're coming along for the ride!
