Lil Lynch

Ladybugs. After we had our rainbow baby Lily we kept finding ladybugs in our post delivery room. I know it was my little angels letting me know they were there with me and coming to greet their new little sister. You have to think... we are on like the 10th floor (or something like that) with no opening windows or outside doors. How could several ladybugs made there way into our room? There is no over abundance of ladybugs where we live. In fact, it's rare that I see them at all. 

Safe

How did you know
That I'm all alone today
Oh, I feel so scared
And I want to go away
I bleed so deep underneath
My soul is screaming

I'm not gonna hide
I'm not gonna run away
I'll uncover the scars
And show you every mistake
Your love is mending my blisters
And the bruising shame
Here with you
I am safe

Drowning the tears
Won't make it go away
It's robbing my soul
I'm taking this mask off my face
To discover love
And uncover all
It means to live and breathe

I'm not gonna hide
I'm not gonna run away
I'll uncover the scars
And show you every mistake
Your love is mending my blisters
And the bruising shame
Here with you
I am safe

When you uncovered, I discovered
I am not afraid
But when we're hiding
We end up fighting
To be safe

I'm not gonna hide
I'm not gonna run away
I'll uncover the scars
And show you every mistake
Your love is mending my blisters
And the bruising shame
Here with you
I am safe

Potty Like A Rockstar

Nom Nom Nom, still trying to break those teethies through!

So, let's face it, grief is so much easier when you have a rainbow baby...

although another child can never replace what you have lost.
