When people ask why I didn’t take a picture of Liam, I tell them that I don’t want to be reminded of how he struggled for his life at the NICU and what he looked like with all the machines connected to him. And I certainly don’t want to take a picture of him after he died.

So the only “pictures” that I have of him are these ultrasound scans that were taken when he was still inside me. At least in these photos, he was well and alive.

baby ultrasound 5 weeks

Liam @ 5 Weeks

baby ultrasound 8 weeks

Liam @ 7 weeks

baby ultrasound 13 weeks

These are the only visual proof I have that show that for 39 weeks, however short that may seem, I became a mother. I miss you so much Baby Liam.

    I am really sorry for your loss, Sis. Today’s my 7th-day since my 8-week-baby pronounced dead inside me. I was looking for poem to help me pouring out my pain and grief which bottled inside. You are remembered in my prayers.
