Tattoo Consultation

Today I am going in with Ron for our tattoo consultations.  I am so excited to be getting an amazing piece of artwork in memory of Annabelle.  I am just nervous because I want it to be perfect.  I know this is only the consult, but in a couple of weeks I will be getting the actual tattoo, and it will be with me forever.  It brings a smile to my face knowing that I will have a symbol of Annabelle on me for the rest of my life...  I cannot wait to show it off to the world!

I know I haven't posted in a while, but I have been trying to figure out this new life I am living.  I am able to have good days now and can enjoy time with friends and family.  It makes me happy being able to watch Lilah and Danny grow up and experience so many things.  I am so blessed that I found a job where they are with me all day.
Annabelle is on my mind every second of every day, but I have found peace in this thought.  She is with me and always will be.  She is my forever baby.  I am actually getting a tattoo in her memory this month and cannot wait!  I found an amazing tattoo artist and have a consult with him March 10th.  I know I want a butterfly on my shoulder and to somehow have Annabelle's name or initials incorporated in the design, but I want to see what David (the tattoo artists) says before I decide on exactly what I want.  Since I cannot have her with me physically, this is my way of having her with me.  I will post pictures when I get it!
I also decided to do the March of Dimes walk for babies.  Our family is going to participate in the Naperville walk at the end of April.  I was looking for something to do in her memory and this feels right.  Annabelle's cousin was in the NICU after being born early a few years ago and it was because of MoD he had all the help he did.  They also do research and support for babies with birth defects and they offer support for parents who lose their babies.  I am hoping to support this cause and if you would like to donate, I am attaching the link to Annabelle's page.  Any donation would be greatly appreciated.

I am going to try to post on here more often and will keep updates on the MoD walk.
