As you will have realised, if you know me and Megumi, we have some good days and some bad days. You may even be able to figure that out from reading my drivel on the site here.
Recently, we have been having a lot of good days. Megumi's swelling stomach is a very real reminder that we will be parents again in the very near future. We haven't forgotten about Rosie. In fact we think about her and talk about her every day. But we are looking forwards, rather than backwards. We have lots of love to give, and are excited about sharing our love with a new baby Garner. The 4-D ultrasound photos are very realistic, and Megumi is convinced that 'baby-chan' looks like his/her older sister (I'm a little more skeptical!)
In many ways, it may, bizarrely, be easier for us to come to terms with what happened than it has been for our families. As I said, we have evidence of a new life growing inside Megumi, whereas my parents and Megumi's parents only have our second-hand accounts to console them. Perhaps I should take a picture of the ultrasound photo to cheer up the folks a bit...

Aren't those 4D ultrasound photos great? I'm curious what hospital you went to for the 4D. Any chance it was Itabashi Chuo Sogo Byoin?

Hi. You are going to think I am nuts, but I was fooling around on the internet and found your site, and was intrigued because of the name Rosie Garner. What a beautiful little girl! What a blessing your site was to me today! My name is Rosie Garner, I live in Missoula, Montana, USA. I'm a 42yr old single mother of 2 sons. I have some "stuff" in my own life I'm struggling with today, and your site just really touched me and I just wanted to let you know. I said a prayer for you, and your family today. Take care. ~Rosie
