Vivi's Place: Vivi's Lil Sis...

Our first blog....ever.....

Our journey through grief has led us here...

At 7 1/2 months of a wonderful and exciting pregnancy, our baby's movements and heart beat had stopped. After delivering our silent baby girl, our broken hearts seemed they would never heal. They are healing but having support and supporting others has been a desire of ours for some time. Coming across different blogs and posts of parents with similar stories, we have decided to begin Vivi's Place. A memorial for our beautiful daughter Viviana Allison, our first born, as well as a place for healing.

May we all join hands (so to speak) and share our stories, our sorrows and especially our hopes....

Vivi's Lil Sis...

Well, the MUCH anticipated day has arrived...though I can't share much yet since I have babe in arms and am typing with one hand....

On August 12th, at 10:07 pm, our daughter arrived!!!!

She was 8 lbs 14 oz., and 21" long (yes, a chunk-of-change)

We were able to deliver her at home in a warm pool of water,

as we had hoped....we are so blessed!

Satria Jeanine McKnight (SAW-tree-uh)

She is perfect, as any parent would say about their child.

We are now learning about her in all ways possible.

There is a resemblance and in the first week, I was really longing for Viv, not in place of, but along side Satria. It is just so hard not to have both my babes....

It has been a tough few weeks but all is well and all is worth it.

We continue to thank Viviana as we had asked her many times to help guide Satria safely in.

Thanks again my girl....so wish you too were in my arms....
