Aloha my name is Stacie and I am "mom" to 4 beautiful children. This site is began as the journey through my 5th pregnancy which I referred to as our "Unexpected Blessing." But it's also become a site about loss, dealing with miscarrige, renewed hope, and the road beyond this challenge in life.

Gosh, been so busy lately. Yesterday was my husband’s birthday and today is my oldest daugher’s birthday. On top of that, we started moving some of our belongings, and I secured a storage space today so that we can start moving all the boxes that will stay in storage while we look for our new […]

So I had my dr appointment yesterday. Everything looked just fine. I’m measuring on schedule, my blood pressure was okay, baby’s heart rate sounded good, and we even took a quick peek via ultrasound to see if baby is head down which, at this point, baby is.
