We Love McKinley:)

Awhile ago, Adam and I received our Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep pictures from Tara Reiners Photography! She was so wonderful and came in at like 3 AM to take pictures for us.  She convinced me to have this picture taken, even though I didn't want to be in any of the pictures.  But, I am SO glad that I did because now it is my favorite and I like to see myself with McKinley:)

I share this picture with the internet world because although having a stillborn is a terribly hard experience, it is not horrific and can actually be peaceful.  And I think this picture portrays that.

That being said, it has been over three months since McKinley was born.  The healing is going pretty well, but we do still miss her.  We sleep with a teddy bear we refer to as McKinley Bear and we even took her to Florida with us. :) Occasionally nights are hard, and we sometimes have to leave the baby sections of stores quickly, but overall we are healing.

Isn't she beautiful? We can't wait to meet her:)
