A blogger I follow on Tumblr lost her baby today to trisomy-13, a rare birth defect. My heart aches for her, I can't imagine living through that. What struck me out of the situation though was the "outpouring of support". I remember that kind of support. I realize that people feel they need to say something, and they don't know what to say.
How can you unless you've experienced a loss like that?
I thought I knew what loss was before I had my miscarriages, but it was so much more raw then I could have imagined. It still is. Not a day goes by that I don't think about them, and if I let myself think about them long enough, the tears always come. Even now. Even after I had a healthy baby girl who is now 18 months old and the light of my life.
Even now.
Reading about how everyone is so sorry and is so grateful for their children... I just can't. I get it, seeing a loss makes you see the mortality of your own children, but really? It's not support. I'm not judging. I'm saying I've been there. I've talked to dozens of people who have been there as well.
Just say you're sorry. Listen. Love.
Then privately, hug your children closer, but don't say that my loss makes you so much more grateful for your children. Don't you think we wish we could be as grateful?
We didn't have the chance.

(Excuse my early morning flash face!)
The lovely Glambassador program sent me this awesome Dior powder to try.
The verdict?
I love it!
It blends really well, it looks like airbrushed skin, and it doesn't build up.
It lasts me well into the day as well with no touch ups!
Get yours here and make sure to use GLAM2 for free shipping.

I tried out my first Sally Hansen Crackle Coat manicure today! So far, so good. The crackle "shrinks up" and crackles more as it dries, so don't worry if it doesn't look very crackled when you first paint it on. I went for a more subtle look for my first manicure with a gold over yellow.

On our recent trip to Spokane Washington, we visited the Big Cat Zoo. It was so fun! This is a one year old tiger who lives with a one year old lion - they are best friends! So cute.
This jaguar is hungry! He's eyeing the meat that the trainer has.
Aeva had an awesome time! I thought she would be a little young for zoos, but she enjoyed herself and loved looking at the animals, especially when we pointed out her favorite - lions!
This majestic lion was one of the MGM lions! He was so impressive in person.
Even fake cats make Aeva happy!
White tigers are my favorite.
Aeva's general expression the entire visit.
"Look at me! I'm on a lion!"
We got kittens! They are so sweet. As you can see, Aeva is pretty jazzed about them. We have to work on not grabbing their tails though, haha.
The darker one on the left is Mila, and her sister Lina is on the right. Our little Russian kitties.
We had a great Easter! Aeva & I went to church in the morning, had a delicious Easter breakfast, and then got to sing a couple songs before Aeva was too tired to continue. We left church and went up to Mom & Dad's for a nap, and then we had a great family lunch when church was over. After lunch, we left for another church service where I was singing. Jake met us there, and we had a great time. When we got home in the evening, the Easter bunny had visited Aeva and left her a lot of nice gifts! She was pretty excited.
