I know it has been a very long time since I have posted. We are doing ok and think about Will every minute of the day. Through the support of God, family and friends... we are working though the grieving process.
Over the past 5 years I have been actively involved with ACS - Relay for Life. This year my focus has changed because of Will. I will be participating in March of Dimes new "March for Babies". This is the first year with the new name and I am proud to be a part of it. If you are interested in supporting me in this great cause, donate here ---> marchforbabies.org/all4will.

Aimee, Thanks so much for your post on my blog. I was looking at the pictures of Will, and he was such a handsome little guy! Even though I don't want other people to go through what I did, somehow it helps to know we are not alone. Even though are situations weren't exactly the same, our hearts still know the same ache. Praying for peace in your hearts and for God to lead the way for you both...

Aimee, I am the grandmother of Romy Raye and saw where you posted a comment on her blog. I thought I would take a look at Will's blog.
My heart goes out to you, your husband and family. You have to wonder why God wanted Will at such at early age. But know that Will is truly special and in good hands and that God is great for giving you those precious moments with him. He will never be forgotten by anyone that reads your story.
I pray everyday for all those babies that don't make it. The March of Dimes is a wonder place to start. Thank you so much for sharing your story.

I found you through a comment you left on another blog. Just wanted to send hugs and prayers your way...
Aimee, I read Will's story in an article online. I am so sorry for your loss, my heart goes out to you, I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers. My son was born at 26 weeks, he is now 6 weeks old and is still fighting hard in the NICU. I am glad you were able to hold your beautiful little boy, and I am so glad that the hospital is changing it's policy on Kangaroo Care. Thank you for sharing Will's story, it's an inspiration for everyone.
Thank you so much for your support...it's very difficult to have anyone understand what is going on or the guilt I feel sometimes. I read the Premature Baby's Prayer, and I was hoping it would be ok that I put that on my blog, it is beautiful and brought me to tears. Please know that my heart and thoughts are with you and your family always. Thank you for sharing and for being so willing to talk to someone you don't know...I wish you all the best. God bless and be with you always!

I know...and I know you understand this...it's just so hard to sit there and watch them pick my baby up and not be able to help, and not be able to do the things Mommys are supposed to do. He's a wonderful little boy and we are so blessed to be his parents. I just wish for his sake there was something more I could have done for him to help him while I was pregnant...I did everything they told me to do. I pump everyday, as much as I can, I've been so lucky that I've been able to keep my milk going as long as I have, I've heard that it can be hard when you're only pumping and not breast feeding. I'm thankful everyday that I'm able to at least do that one thing for him. (I don't know how my husband feels since I've filled up the freezer completely with milk!!) Lol, but it's worth it. Is it ok to keep leaving comments here? Thank you for being a shoulder to lean on and someone to talk to, if it's ever too difficult I'll understand if you can't.
Thank you so much. He's doing a little better, it's been a really long day...but I think they might be getting a handle on it. Thank you it's so wonderful to have people who care so much about us and our sweet baby.
Thank you Aimee...it's been a long road and this week was especially hard, but I think he's gotten through the worst part of the infection. I know I need to post more about what's going on, it's just been a really long week and going through it all again is hard right now. He looks so much better, and he's moving around and opening his eyes and even smiling! I told his nurses that I think you have to go through something like the NICU to really truly appreciate every laugh, cry and smile...and when they get older the fights. I can't wait to hear him cry and laugh...and for everything he's going through he's a pretty happy baby most of the time. God is wonderful and seeing him smile reminds me of how true that is. Thank you for everything Aimee, your support and prayers mean so much to me. Please take care and I hope to hear from you again soon!!
Aimee-
Thank you so much for your sweet post on our blog. I am so sorry about the loss of your little Will. It is a heartache and pain that only mothers who have lost a child can truly understand and honestly I wish there were far less of us. I will pray for you and your heart as you walk through this new journey of pregnancy after a loss. I know you have been through a lot and I pray that the Lord will be so faithful in bringing this new little one to a healthy, strong life here with us.
So much love and God's blessings,
Kenzie
