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.

Oh my goodness! Did I really NOT post the birth story here? I posted it a couple other places, but not here….chalk it up to “new mama brain” (especially with the limited amounts of sleep and all).

It’s strange, this is my […]
Gosh, tomorrow is my due date according to the date I ovulated. However, since I’ve been visualizing the 7th as my delivery date for months now, I don’t think I’ll go tomorrow. Still, my visualized due date is just 3 days away! It feels so surreal. Somehow, the thought of just […]
