Day # 3 - Before

Before we lost Claire, life had a calmness, a vibrance, a feeling of bliss. We worked, we schooled, we played. We laughed, we dreamed, and possibilities were endless. Hopes turned into reality and life just felt so good. In the picture of Brandon and I, I was pregnant with Claire. I had a glow, a happiness, and was so excited to be having a baby with Brandon. We are pictured somewhere where the sun was shining on us. Those smiles were real and they were genuine, they were not forced. The belly picture was 1 week before we lost her. I was popping out already at 20 weeks! Brandon took this picture and I remember him saying that I was really starting to show. We had only known that we were having a girl for just a few days here. I was so excited to have my first girl growing inside me. I felt her kick me for the first time around 17 weeks. By the time this picture was taken she was a little acrobat inside me. And when I would talk, sing, or play music she would join in.
