A year ago today was the happiest day of my life. I had a really bad cold, and felt like I shouldn't take any medicine since my period was late. Chris went to the store and bought a bunch of meds as well as a pregnancy test. He wrote me a little sticky note wishing me luck. I remember being so scared to take the test, but I was so sick I had to know. When the test turned out positive I could not even breathe. I felt a huge rush of emotion, and I just started sobbing. It felt like God had put his arms around me, and had given me a huge hug. I called my mom and told her all about it, and then decided to decorate the house for Chris.
Chris called me on a break at school and I could not hold back the excitement. He knew instantly when he heard my voice. He came home and we called all of our family members. We were so excited! We starting thinking of all the great things our baby would be doing someday, and how blessed we felt to be able to have such a great child.
My heart just aches today. I never in my wildest dreams thought that a year from that day I would be sitting here with empty arms, and a broken heart. I found myself thinking back to that day a lot this past week, wishing I could go back and relive that moment. Oh what I would do to have Preslie here with me. I would just hold her and never let her go. Today is such a hard day, I just want my baby girl!

Preslie is such a lucky girl to have parents that love her so much and did from the very first moment her life was discovered. I wish there was some way to relieve just a little bit of the pain you're going through. Just hold on to those special moments that you did have with her and always remember them. We love you both so much and think about you every day.
Hang in there, Rylie! You're in our thoughts & prayers today.
Wow, you are right! Today is a hard day for you. I am so sorry. I know you've got other people to talk to but, if you need someone, I am here. Love you.
And all the people that love you would do anything to grant your wish.

That is very sweet rylie! Prelie is so lucky to have you and chris as parents! I found myself thinking about you today and i do alot. Kelsi Ewing was on the computer and she said Kipley Here is your favorite song. She played Come What May. I stopped and pondered on that song as it played. I thought of both you and Chris and Preslie!When ever i hear that song i think of you and i always will. She will love you forever! She is always with you.
I love you!

Sorry today was so hard. October was the anniversary of our "finding out we were pregnant day". A hard day. We love you and your little one and pray for you often.
I remember this feeling. I just wanted to give you continued (hugs) That first year, I remember it being so hard. Now I can look back on it with a sad smile and peace. Remember that Preslie loves you and is never far. I love to think that those times when I think of her the most and it just hurts...those are the times when she is closest to me.
(hugs) again.
