I really don't know how to even start this blog...
Well...I'll just begin. Wednesday May 28, 2008. A day that will never be forgotten or lose meaning... That afternoon at 5:28 pm I gave birth to a beautiful and perfect 7lb 10oz baby girl who I named Natalee Nicole. I never got to hear her cry or have her wrap her precious and tiny fingers around mine...nor will I ever get to. She was a total Griffith and looked just like her daddy. Never knowing anyone who has lost a child, I was in complete shock....I still can't believe it sometimes...But I also see it as a blessing, b/c my Natalee will never hurt or have heartache b/c she is with Jesus where I just know she watches over us everyday... We buried her and bought the two plots next to her... I go about every week and take flowers over there...I've never been the kind of person who does that, but again I've never had a child that's passed away either. She will always be our tiny little angel, and I am so blessed to have gotten the opportunity to have her the time I did. I feel for Joe b/c he didn't get to have her the way I did, but he is so amazing and wonderful and he, God, and the prayers of others is what's gotten me thru all of this. I'm still far from healing, b/c I just don't see myself ever not missing her and wondering what she would be like or look like, but I just take it one day at a time b/c thats all I can do. I dunno why I felt the need to write any of this down....maybe for healing, or maybe for ppl that haven't been in my shoes will see that it IS a big deal and it wasn't like a miscarriage...I had a full term baby....no matter what anyone says she was perfect....and will always be in my eyes....

I love you Natalee Nicole...more than words could ever ever ever express....

This is my beautiful baby girl Shelby! I can't believe that she is getting so big!! She is really a talker now, and has her " moments" of the terrible twos...but she is so smart and so dang cute that if I am getting on to her for something she gives these cute little faces and I can't help but laugh....

She loves Elmo and of course Barney, but her all time favorite thing to watch it 101 Dalmations I think we watch it at least once a day most of the time more...

That's all for now I just wanted to write a lil about my special girl....

Love ya'll and hope all is well...

HAPPY 50th!!! I love you so much dad and I cannot even begin to tell you how much of an impact you have had on my life and now on Shelby's! She sure does love her grandpa!! You have done nothing but sacrifice for me over and over again when I know there are times when I know you shouldn't and didn't know how you were able to. Your the greatest father....I will always be thankful for the things you have taught me and the things you continue to teach me everyday. The next 50 years will be even greater! I love you so much!

Love always,

Your "Special" Baby Jennifer Rene'

MY BABY IS WALKING!!!!

Today Shelby "officially" started her walking! She has taken a few steps here and there, but today when she and Na Na (thats what she calls my mom for now, ha ha) got home she stood herself up and walked around in some circles and then sat....I was clapping and laughing and she got very excited with herself so me and my mom got on the floor and took turns turning her around for Shelby to walk from her to me......I am soooo proud of my baby girl! Right now it's that "drunken" kind of walking, but I know that pretty soon it will be running around! YIKES!!! ha ha OK...have a wonderful and blessed week everybody and thank all of you for keeping me in your prayers...they definitely worked!

Love you all
