There are a lot of hours to fill in a day when we are not splitting our time between Olivia at home and Ainsley at the hospital and work. We are just trying to adjust to what was normal a year and a half ago...or fill the time between now and when this new baby arrives.

| Wii bowling. In a bathing suit. Totally normal. |
Here's a little placeholder post to let you know that we are all ok. And that we appreciate all of your thoughts and prayers and kind words.

Ainsley amazed me and inspired me to be better.... Now You, Jen.... and your Family... continue to 'teach' me about gratitude. I have cried for all of you.... said many prayers for all of you...... and now, I smile at the love surrounding you. You are a beautiful soul, young Lady..... absolutely Beautiful. ♥
Thinking of you--and hoping this community can hold you up during this time.
Definitely thinking of you and your family. Sending support through the internet...
Been praying for you and your family. Wii bowling in a bathing suit is awesome.
I've thought about you daily. Praying for a new normal that brings some joy and a feeling of peace!
Thinking about all of you and wishing you peace, healing, and much love.
Thanks for letting us know that you're as okay as you can be.
The new normal can be a very hard place to adjust to. Sending lots of love.
Have been thinking of your family ever day since I read of Ainsley's passing. I Can't imagine how surreal your new normal must feel right now and my heart aches for you, stranger though you may be. Thank you for taking the time to let us know you are doing ok. Bless you and your sweet girls.
Thank you for posting - you're all in my thoughts.
Been thinking about you guys. Finding a new normal can't be easy, but I know you are surrounded by family and friends that love you guys so much and will help you get to that new normal.
Thanks for posting a placeholder. ((HUGS))
I have been reading your blog for years and want you to know that I have thought of your family and sweet little Ainsley often. A friend(who also reads your blog) and I have cried tears of true sadness over your loss and just wanted to let you know how much her life and you sharing your world with us has impacted me and others. What a beautiful family and my thoughts, prayers and everything else are with you during this time.
I love how the dog (I think it's a real dog!) is spectating attentively.

Thanks for posting. Thinking about how I'd be in your shoes, I'd have no idea how I'd adjust to the new normal. I'm sure it is a surreal time for all of you. I know you miss your girls. I know you enjoy Olivia. I've been reading your blog for about 4 years. I hug and appreciate my 2 little boys (2 1/2, 7 months) every day. I know how precious life is. I think of you often and pray you are getting some rest. Your house will soon have more baby smiles again. :o)
Thinking of you.
I just started following you. Just wanted to say, you have dealt with so much more than any person should in 10 lifetimes. Thinking of you and wishing peace to you and your beautiful family.
You and your sweet babies have been in my thoughts. Thanks for letting us know you are ok and are working on healing.
Bowling in a bathing suit. Heck yes!! Thinking of you <3
Still sending the love....
Jen, praying for your family. Miss Olivia is rocking that bathing suit btw.
In addition to the hole in your heart, there's also a hole in your schedule to deal with...
Thinking of you.
I don't know what the right thing is to say...I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your precious little girl. I know we don't know each other (I'm new to blogger), but I saw your last post when I was searching for others who have gone through infertility. Then I back-read some of your posts. Your story, and Ainsley's story, touched me and I wanted to let you know that.
May you find peace and strength through this difficult time. Thinking of you.

Sending you many thoughts with love, and prayers. <3
Hugs to you all.
Thinking of your family often. Thanks for checking in.
Thinking of all of you and praying.
Glad you posted this. I've been thinking of your family and all you have been through. Take care of yourselves.
Sending lots of love as you reestablish life together... sending prayers for gentle healing of the hole that Ainsley left in your lives. I am glad that you are taking time to do things like 'go bowling' (and hey, you never know when that might turn into a pool party!) and be in this moment with Olivia and each other. Sending hugs, sunshine and wishes for peace.
I think of you often.
Love and hugs from across the bandwith. Thinking of you and your sweet little ladies - all the time. You inspire me.
thinking about you guys every day...wishing you peace and healing...and sending some texas sized love from good ol' pville.
Thinking of you and sending you love. lots of love.
Dear Jen,
I got addicted to your blog about a year ago when i stumbled upon it and read it ALL IN ONE DAY. SInce then I have been riding your rollercoaster ride of your trials of being pregnant with twins, then losing one RIGHT BEFORE your c-section, and then the struggles of Ainsleys health. I hadnt gotten on in a month and just now saw that she left you..so unexpectantly. I am in shock..I can NOT believe you lost your precious girl RIGHT before you will be welcoming another precious girl. I am soo sorry that your story is so full of sorrow and painful times. I truly send you peace to comfort you when the pain of Ainsley leaving seems unbearable, and the warmth of love to wash over you as you look to find a new normal with your new daughter coming so soon.
I know your heart is all over the place and I send YOU peace to be mama to Olivia, yet mourn the loss of your precious baby Ainsley.
May you not feel alone and know that so many feel your loss and send you healing love,
Anthea Gappmayer
I continue to think of you and your daughter daily. Thank you for gracing us with this quick update. While you don't need to, so many of us appreciate it.
Xoxo.
My daughter got a Cabbage Patch Kid named Ainsley this week. She's not as cute as your beefcake but I think of your Ainsley often.
Thanks for the note letting us know you are ok. Prayers continuing for all of you.
Sweet photo, btw. Good times.
And I'm so glad you have this new baby to look forward. Not as a replacement for Ainsley, of course, but to add some hope to your lives.
