Every year, my hubby and I go on a Memorial weekend whirlwind trip (except this year because I had to work and we were supposed to go to Scotland next week!), and last year we went to Boston. We had the best time in Boston (seriously, I would move there tomorrow), and it was so exciting because we joked about baby's first trip. I bought the cutest onesie with shamrocks on it that said "that's it! I'm going to Nana's!" We were so happy on that trip and talked about how we would probably not go anywhere next Memorial Day because we would have a nearly 6 month old, and it would be too difficult to take a 2 day trip...how blissful we were....how unaware of how life can change in an instant.
Another Memorial day, but pregnant with a completely different baby. I've lived this holiday once with dreams for my child...but, now these dreams are for a different child.
I'm going to post a picture of us from last Memorial Day in Boston~ its chilly up there in May, but underneath the sweatshirt is my baby bump~ my smile is genuine...which is different now in recent pictures...

It is incredible to think back at a time not too long ago when we had completely different babies in our bellies and different hopes and dreams. I'm so glad that you have this new little one this year, but understand how tough it is to realize we were wrong when we assumed we would be with our babies at this point.
A beautiful pic! Although the memories are different now then it was on that day, I have no doubt in my mind that you will be that happy again. Where there is a dream there is hope. Hugs :)
Last year we were all pregnant with our sweet babies that we lost. I'm glad that Lily was able to go on a trip with you - I know she was so loved. :)
Hey Jen - I nominated you for an award - check my blog!
What a strange feeling that must be.
But what a wonderful photograph. I realized the other day that I only have two photos from when I was pregnant and they both show only my face. I wish I could look at my belly and say, "There. There were our babies" :) Looks like you three had a wonderful time.
Hugs! Know that I'm always here for you!
