Time Flies.

We sat in the NICU last year and prayed for time to go faster, now I can hardly blink before he grows two more inches.

Time flies.

With the celebration also comes the harsh reality of facing the anniversary of Conor's death.
Those anniversaries are gonna be tough...

April 4th has come and gone, as we remembered that night a year ago. I headed to work without knowing that day would be forever be changed from the day I meet Zach 10 years ago to the day my water broke. It was the 2nd worse day of my life. The fear, the pain, the words spoken softly between my husband and I- all to hard to remember, but all to hard to forget.

April 11th, the boys were born and we plan on having a celebration. A quiet day, with family. A day celebrating the miracles we have witnessed. Celebrating the life of Blakers.

April 12th is our angel day- the anniversary of Conor's passing, the absolute worst day of Zach and my life. I do not look forward to this day, but do look forward in having a whole day remembering and honoring Conor. I know this sounds weird, but having had twins and losing Conor, sometimes "Angel Days" get lost in Blake. It is such a blessing to have Blake and to be able to watch him grow, but at times its hard to take a step back and allow ourselves to mourn appropriately for our son Conor.
So on the 12th is our Angel day, a day specifically for Conor, all about Conor, what a blessing, what a miracle. To have a day with this precious boy was more than we could ever ask- as some parents never know they child, I was able to hold mine, and make it known the love that surrounded him.

As the week comes I ask for prayers, it will be a hard week but we know we can survive it, because with faith we can do anything.

Hoppy Easter






Last year on Easter Sunday I laid in bed watching from a hospital window as friends and family went in and out of the church that stood just hundreds of feet away. I prayed every second for my boys to be safe, I prayed for my own strength to continue to carry them for as long as I could, I prayed and thanked God every minute for the man that laid bedside me, who loved me unconditionally and held my hand and told me everything would be okay, despite his own fears.
This year is different. We have loved, we have lost. We have gained more in faith when some might have lost theirs. We thank God for everyday blessings, everyday miracles, and filling our hearts with hope, love and never ending faith. My God lives, and we rejoice in him today. Count your blessing and stay forever in faith! Happy Easter from the Hargis Family!













Jumping over Hurdles

If you follow out story you will know the difficulty Blake has with his left arm, which has hindered his progress in consistently rolling belly to back- even though he has been able to get from back to belly relatively easy. We are a proud mommy and daddy today as Blake has finally gained enough strength in both arms to roll over without any prompts or help!!

Steps to table food.

Blake is venturing into the world of table food...here is documentation of the process!
STEP #1: Place the Gerber Puffs-we call "poofs"-in front of Blake.




STEP #2: Full inspection of the "poofs" by Blakers.




STEP #3: Make a choice and grab a "poof".




STEP #4: Attempt to get "poof" in mouth....FAILED.




STEP #5: Try again to get "poof" in mouth...SUCCESS!!




STEP #6: (optional) Spit it back out, look at it, and put it back in your mouth! YUCK!




Such a proud moment for mommy and daddy! Haha!
