Baby Cohen

Since I've become a mom I'm a sucker for pregnancy stories and babies. When I started reading Megan and Brent's blog I became interested to see how things would go for them. They were expecting a baby that had a heart defect. They didn't know exactly what to expect but they were hopeful. Cohen arrived here and fought hard to stay alive. He didn't stay here long, but the time they spent with him had to have been great. He was a beautiful little boy and I feel like I know them personally. The night that I saw that he had passed I was having an awful day. Nothing was going my way. I was so glad Corbin had gone to sleep and I was looking forward to just sitting down. Corbin is/was teething at the time and I thought I needed a break. Well I got on blogger and saw that he had died, and I began crying and didn't stop until I fell asleep that night. I thought about how I was wishing Corbin would just go to sleep so I could rest. How selfish is that? After I read their blog I wanted to run and wake my baby up just to hold him and tell him how much I love him. I thank God every day that Corbin is healthy and happy (99.9% of the time). You never know how lucky you are until you read some else's story. It can make you re-evaluate whats important. Now when Corbin gets fussy I'm glad he's fussy, it means he's growing and he's healthy. Anyway the point of me blogging was to say that in honor of Cohen tomorrow is his memorial service and their friends are vowing for a day of silence, no blogging no new status on Facebook.com simply Cohen. So now blog for tomorrow. I'm sure I will have lots of catching up to do on Friday. So tonight be sure to hold your babies a little closer and give them lots of loving :)

Here is their story if you are interested
