About Me

My photo
Texas, United States
I am happily married to Ellis. We were married on May 9th of 2009 (the best day of my life). I am a nurse in the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit). Ellis is currently in school full time finishing up his basics and is also working as a care partner at the hospital. He plans to attend nursing school. On December 19th of 2010 we were blessed with our son, Gavin. Gavin was with us for 11 short days (that we are extremely grateful for) before he passed away. He is now with our Father in Heaven, where we look forward to seeing him again someday. We are currently expecting our second baby, a little girl. She is due in May of 2012. We have a chocolate lab named Sadie and a yellow lab named Lucky. They are both a little over two years old and a lot of fun. I enjoy learning more about God, traveling, shopping, and spending time with my husband,friends,and family. We love God and know we are blessed beyond measure.

Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep




I'm not sure how many of you have heard of Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep, but they are an organization who provides professional photography for free to families who are losing their baby. Ellis and I were blessed to have a photographer come to the hospital the day that Gavin passed away to take pictures of Gavin and of all three of us. She did an amazing job. If you are looking for an organization to donate to who really reaches out to help families this is a great one. They do a great job and their pictures are memories that will last a lifetime. I just received the CD of pictures in the mail from the photographer today so I can finally upload some on here. I hope you enjoy our family photos.
Love to All,
Melissa
