Procrastinating at it's finest

Hello all, I know it's been a few months since I have made a blog post. I mean well. I promise myself to blog more. I plan to blog more. Then I get busy or lazy, whichever you want to call it, and before I know it, MONTHS have gone by since I last blogged. 
Anyway, I have a sewing to do list about a mile long, maybe longer. The first project on my list is some doll clothes that I promised a friend I would make so she could use them at her craft show next month. I have been doing EVERYTHING BUT sewing these doll clothes. I don't know why but my heart and mind just cannot get on board with making these dang doll clothes. They're so easy to sew together, but I discover that every time I sit at my sewing machine to sew them, I just can't. Weird right? Yep. So here's what I've done instead of doll clothes. 
I made shorts for myself because it's freaking hot still in Florida despite being "Autumn." Also because no where is selling shorts/summer clothes anymore? Kinda dumb if you ask me but hey, I get to make more for myself.

And a journal cover. I really like this project. I will probably make more to use as Christmas gifts. 
That's about all I've been up to sewing wise. 
Until next time.

Recap

It's been a while since I blogged. I was doing so good too!  Anyway, recap of my life. Sammy stayed home from school last Friday with a sore throat. Still sick on Saturday and Sunday. Got to make a dress Sunday night. (Yay for accomplishing some of my new year's goals!) No school for the holiday Monday. Made pajamas for sammy Monday night. Field trip on Tuesday. Barnes & Noble! Wooooooo Church on Wednesday and now it's Thursday.  And thus another week was spent.  Now onto what I really want to say here. It's now much closer to what would have been Baby Day/Homegoing from Nicu. And it is emotionally exhausting to think about. I'm truly happy for the friends who were pregnant at the same time as me, but I am so sad for us.  I miss my baby. It's hard to look at pictures of him, so I don't. It's hard to think about not having him, so I focus my mental energies elsewhere, which is probably why you will see a lot of new things made this year. It's hard

#sorrynotsorry

I'm not going to apologize for this post.  Today marks two months since Liam passed away. It's still hard every day to wake up knowing that I don't get to hold my baby. I see success stories of other babies born at 23 weeks and I wonder if we made the right choice. Then I remember how uneasy Liam looked lying there in his little glass cage. Then I remember how his nurse, Andrea, said he looked so at peace snuggled up to me. I wanted peace for him and to know one hundred percent without a doubt that we loved him, even if it meant letting him go. It's hard to know that if I were still pregnant, I'd be rapidly approaching my due date. It's hard to think that if Liam were still alive, he'd be approaching the possible "come home" date. It's hard to see baby posts so I'm just gonna tell you, I've hidden almost all of them.  I want to scream and yell that it's not fair that all the other moms get their babies and I don't get mine, pree
