Tattoo

Today I got my new tattoo... I love it, and I appreciate all of Okie's hard work. He's be best dude ever and I'll follow him anywhere to get work done. He knew how important this tattoo was to me, apoligized for what happened with the baby and made sure everything was exactly what I wanted.

For those that didn't see, Dylan actually got a matching tattoo with me! I know, I was SHOCKED. He told me he had a surprise that we were going to go do today before my appointment... He kept trying to throw me off track but I was honestly crossing my fingers the whole time that this is what he was going to do. So we got to the shop and okie showed me a HUGE banner, but the words were different. I'd changed what I was originally going to get because the words were wrong, but this wasn't either of the things I told him. Dylan smiled and said "that one's mine"... Aww... he got the same banner as me, colored the same but his phrase was different. His represented a few different things for him, but I was so excited he got more work done. He always talks about getting another tattoo but it never happens for him. And I wasn't supposed to get any "new" tattoos until my back was finished, but this is something I had to do, and it couldn't wait until my back was done...

So on my left wrist, I forever have the baby that I lost. Even now I can look at the tattoo and think of good things, even tho the overall experience is still hard to think about. But for once Im not blogging to be sad. I'm really happy today went well, and would like to go to bed on a positive note...

Also, my friend Shrie asked me to do a piece for offbeatmama.com so look for that on here (and i'll be sure to post the link after it gets online). I'm really glad she asked me to do it. I was bawling the whole time I was writing it, but it feels good to share my story. I have looked on sites for other women talking about it and theres not a lot out there. I think it's so hard for people to stomach they just dont want to share their stories... well NOT ME! lol...

anyways... I'm out of here. Short blog I know, but I'll be back tomorrow. I'm going to a baby shower, and while I adore Kristen (the mommy to be), it's going to be a long hard day...
