We have a date!! We finally have our court date for Zac's adoption finalization, and although he became ours when he was placed in our arms/stole our hearts on July 3, 2016 at 3:30 am, there is something special about him officially receiving our last name and becoming a Watson, especially on December 22... The fall/winter holidays (Thanksgiving through New Years) are my absolute favorite. They have also become some of the hardest for me. Thanksgiving always reminds me of the day (in 2014) we found out I was pregnant, yet it also reminds me of the loss that followed in December of that year. Having Zac home with us this year brings a new level of emotion...I so wish I would have been able to give birth to our two precious babies, but I find myself feeling waves of guilt because I never want Zac to think that I would choose them over him. I want so badly to be able to celebrate this Christmas with all three of my babies. I find this new season of life/motherhood ve...

Today is pregnancy and infant loss awareness month and as I sit hear listening to my sweet baby boy who has most recently learned his precious voice and uses it all the time, I rejoice in God's grace yet mourn at the loss of our two other precious babies! Sweet little ones, you are missed every day and I know you'd be the best siblings to Zac man! I am so thankful for the short time God placed you in my tummy and smile knowing you now sit in His lap! Know you are remembered and loved always! Love this post written by a fellow fertility sister! Join today in the Wave of Light to remember these angels at 7-8 pm!

Zac is Three Months Old and his personality continues to shine through more and more every day! Zac has had an eventful month, learning new things and traveling to AL for the first time!! He officially found his hands a week after turning three months old and they are constantly in his mouth. He loves being outside, and didn't mind the grass when I sat him in it for the first time on 9/10. He has now rolled from belly to back, but only once (9/21)... I think it scared him when it happened so he has had no interest since! He has also taken much more interest in sitting up (propped up in the couch right now) these days. 9 weeks old! 9.3.16 Tummy time with Daddy 9.3.16 That smile! Sitting up like a big boy! Loves bath time! 10 weeks old 9.10.16 Starting to not want arms swaddled! Best Movie Date! 9.13.16 9.13.16 We are now getting out to do more things, which has been fun and much needed!
