The Hope & Hearts walk was really bittersweet. It was a great way to honor my deceased babies. Walking a 5K when you haven't exercised in a looooong time is not the best idea, though, especially if you have endometriosis. I had the worst cramping/pain by the end of it. :( It did, however, spark my interest in wanting to run again. I think I'll ease into, though.

Had to start the day off right... I made my own version of a Green Monster.
You aren't, however, going to get the recipe. It wasn't very good. |

During the commemorative ceremony, the name of the deceased babies were read.
You released your balloon as your child's name was called.
It was called "Releasing Hearts to Heaven" |

| My daughter saw me crying and came over to give me a hug. :) |
 |
"Mommy, why are you sad?"
"Because I miss your sisters" |

| NOT the best pic of me, but I wanted to show you the raw emotion |
