Hi there

Hi. I'm the Wingnut. I've been wanting to blog for a long time, so I'm finally jumping in. Of course, we're just about to go on vacation, so bad timing, maybe. Oh well.

So, here's the rundown. I'm Wingnut. I'm 26 years old and live in the middle of freaking nowhere - at least that's how it seem to us. I've been happily married to The Boy since July 28, 2007. We were happily surprised by becoming pregnant in January of 2008. After a wonderful pregnancy, The Littlest Boy made his appearance October 12, 2008. However, he experienced an occult cord prolapse during birth and died the next day. After that, we knew we wanted to be parents to a living child and not just TLB, so we began actively trying to get pregnant again. March 2009 saw us pregnant again, this time with Butterball (due around Thanksgiving), but I miscarried her (I swear Butterball was a girl, no matter that The Boy says otherwise) on Easter. May saw us pregnant yet again and February 11, 2010 marked the arrival of The Goblin King (usually affectionately referred to as the kidlet, the small child and a whole host of other names).


I know that's a lot to divulge in a first post, but it's important for you to know. My grieving is not over, and never will be. I will talk about babies, dead babies and little brothers to dead babies; tears, smiles, grief and moving on; jobs, money, stress, marriage, family life and traveling. And Disneyland - oh, there will be much talk of Disneyland. It's eclectic, sometimes sad, sometimes bitter and sometimes euphoric, but always me. Consider yourself warned.

There it is - an introduction. Soon to come will be more about our everyday life. First up will no doubt be all about our upcoming vacation - the kidlet's first visit to Disneyland!

Good morning Wingnut!
It will be fun geting to know you better. I have a blog too...though I am really quite bad about writing these past MANY months! You have inspired me however and I'll try to start again. As for talking about dead babies, I'm right there with you. They were our babies, how dare we forget them.
On another note,I'd love to meet up with you someday at D'land (only about 1.25 hours drive for me)
