It’s all still a big blur…⁣
⁣
I don’t know how we survived it. ⁣
⁣
This wasn’t the end of it, 
⁣
I was finally free to go home — but ⁣
⁣
we still had NICU time to do. ⁣

⚠️⚠️TW INFANT LOSS⚠️⚠️🛑⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣
I gave birth to Ryatt and his twin brother baby “b” via cesarean. When my care team asked if I wanted to see baby “b” without hesitation I said YES, but I didn’t want my husband to see him. The loss of Dom’s Dad was still so fresh I didn’t want to break his heart even more. But Dom was ready to see him too. I don’t think Instagram will let me share very much about baby “b,” but he was beautiful. He had the tiniest facial features, sweet tiny little hands and feet, he fit right in my doctor’s hand. He really was the tiniest, most beautiful baby I never imagined I’d be able to see. ⁣
⁣
After surgery my care team kept asking us if we had a name for baby “b.” We tried to come up with one, but we’d called him baby “b” from the moment we found out about him. So nothing else made sense. Dom remembered the “b” tattoo his dad got on his leg in Vietnam so it was very fitting for him to stay baby “b.” Just a few months ago Dom also tattooed the “b” on his leg. ⁣
⁣
We decided to cremate baby “b.” Once the weather warms up we are planning to spread his ashes on the Big Horn River. It’s one of our favorite rivers to float and fish. How special it will be to float the river with all of my boys. 🕊️🤍⁣

My confidence as a mother has grown so much with this new little babe of ours. ⁣
⁣
But my  s e l f  confidence is…. lacking.⁣
⁣
I’ve really leaned in, and trusted myself and my instincts more than I ever have as a mommy in the last 5 months. ⁣
⁣
I’ve also never covered myself up more. ⁣
⁣
I read somewhere that it takes a baby 7 months to realize they’re a different person from you. ⁣
⁣
I’ve also read that it takes 3 years after having a baby to feel like yourself again. ⁣
⁣
So even though I don’t  r e c o g n i s e  myself in the mirror right now, ⁣
⁣
I know exactly whose shadow this is.⁣
⁣
… it’s ours.🤍⁣

Cue the awakening & the relighting of the fire in my soul ❤️‍🔥

—Lol sorry not sorry for the dramatics—

I’m really leaning into the spiritual shift of the changing season…I am an Aries afterall. But especially after everything that’s happened. Looking back to how sick I was a year ago ➡️STILL gives me the shivers. 

That sh!t changed me. But I’m starting to feel like myself again. 

Inspired by my friend @hayles.robinson

why did I fall off social media and have a secret baby?? ⁣
⁣
Honestly, it’s a long LONG long story… ⁣
But we’re all healing — we’re on the other side of grief, I think. ⁣
⁣
I’m going to post a Q & A in my stories. So pop over and ask me all the questions. Lol, the secret is out! ⁣

I wish you guys could read my mind, so you knew how ridiculous it feels to announce my return to the gram after 4 months with a selfie.

so let’s just get this over with…

Quick Quesh: ⁣
WOULD YOU WANT TO BE MARRIED TO YOU?⁣
⁣
I asked Dom this yesterday while we were doing yard work. His answer was an enthusiastic, “YES!” ⁣
⁣
I was like, “really…? You wouldn’t get sick of you? & that whole toxic positivity thing you’ve got going on then multiply it by two?” ⁣
⁣
That didn’t come out right, did it? 😅⁣
⁣
Well I wouldn’t want to be married to me, myself, CHENAE. One of us would end up on an episode of snapped. Two Nancy’s living together = no bueno. ⁣
⁣
I’d choose his happy-go-lucky, positive Polly attitude over my negative Nancy ass every day of the week though. ⁣

Happy Gotcha Day to our pound puppy⁣
Zoey 🥳 #gotchadayanniversary ⁣
⁣
This beautiful soul has been with us 6 years.  She’s the goodest girl in the whole wild world. #zoeythehumandog ⁣
⁣
We still haven’t done a DNA test to find out all the different dog breeds she has in her. If I had to guess I’d say pit bull, Australian shepherd mix..? ⁣

What breeds do you think Zoey is? taken in Montana by @chenae_valles
