Ginger Is Three!

6-13-12-3-800


Three years ago today our little Ginger Sunshine was born.

She was born 11 months after her twin sisters were stillborn, and also after a miscarriage the year before.

She has been an immeasurable joy in our lives.

I would say she is a rainbow baby (that's what you call a baby born after a loss)- but really, she is more a bright, intense beam of sunshine.

baby power!


I am so grateful for the absolute JOY that she is.

She reminds me that when things look darkest, to never give up and to never stop trying - especially when it's in pursuit of building a family. She is such a gift.

Even though our family does not look the way I thought it would, not a day goes by that I am not grateful for how things have turned out.

Happy Birthday, Ginger! You are everything, and everything is you...

Happy 3rd Birthday Ginger!
She's a little treasure Erika. Have never heard of a rainbow baby before (and cringe at the thought of putting a burden on a child, but maybe wrong there) but Ginger is certainly a ray of sunshine.
She is so very pretty!
