One year ago today our Molly-girl, a.k.a. our over achieving embryo, was transferred into my uterus, soon after which she successfully implanted herself and settled in for the long haul. I don’t have a lot to share as I reflect on the anniversary of the embryo transfer that grew into our daughter, however I also felt that I couldn’t let this day pass without acknowledging it. It is one of many such milestones that will be bittersweet this year as significant dates during our pregnancy with our baby girl come and go for the first time since she was born and went to Heaven.
Tomorrow Bob, Sean and I are going to participate in a “Walk to Remember” hosted by the perinatal bereavement program at the hospital where we delivered Molly. I look forward to honoring Molly’s life, and our three angel babies from our two miscarriages and our ectopic pregnancy, along with other local families who have lost babies through miscarriage, stillbirth or neonatal death. It will be our first experience with a group memorial service and I will share about it at some point afterwards.
Thank you for your continued support, encouragement, thoughts and prayers. I hope this finds you and your loved ones in good spirits. Take care and God bless.

May each step you take during the walk really make a difference,for you as you remember Molly and for others as they bring their grief.
hugs!
I will be thinking of you as you make that walk as a family
I remember your Molly and all of our lost and much loved babies. ((Hugs))
Oh Kathy, I had no idea until this post that you had suffered losses before sweet Molly. I’m so sorry.
Funny how dates around Bella’s conception are a bit fuzzy now and I need to do month math, but Maddy’s are etched in my brain — sort of like my last good memories. Or something.
I hope the walk was peaceful and meaningful. Thinking of you all and remembering Molly tonight.
