I’m Elizabeth. My husband, Jordan, and I are 30 year old parents to an angel in heaven named Avery. We grew up in Pennsylvania, moved to North Carolina for college, and had been living in Georgia for a few years when we got pregnant in 2018.

On Mother’s Day we had the biggest surprise ever by finding out I was carrying our first child and since then he has been our entire world. I loved everything about being pregnant with him & felt better than I ever had with him in my belly. On November 9th, at 33+4 weeks, I had a complete placental abruption and my sweet baby boy left us for heaven. Not a day goes by that I don’t feel him with me.

Since then I’ve had blood tests confirm I have Factor V Leiden, a genetic blood clotting disorder. In the initial months after Avery died I was referred to a maternal fetal medicine specialist in Georgia who believed that most likely caused my placental abruption.

I am open about my life as Avery’s mom because not only does my love for him grow every day but I want to be a voice for others moms and parents to know that the babies they lost are not shameful secrets. They are God’s precious children that deserve the celebration all children do.

In 2019 we welcomed our rainbow baby, Lila.

We have fun in this family. We love life & each other. And we thank God every day for the blessing of our babies and all this world has to offer us before we meet our first son in heaven someday.

Thank you for being part of our journey.

Day 13 : thankful.

November 22, 2018 /

a lot of people that have reached out to provide comfort have said “I’m sorry this happened”. Although a good portion of the day I spend drowning in grief, I will learn to live on without Avery here on earth but I would never wish he never happened. If loving him long distance from here to Heaven is the only way I can love him for the rest of my life then that’s how I will love him. I have no other choice but to love him; he grew in my belly doing somersaults with hiccups for nearly 34 weeks this year. So yes I have a lot to be thankful this year because this year made me a mama. Even if I have to be an angel mama, Avery Jordan became a guardian angel to our family this year and will forever be watching over Jordan, Chanel and myself.

Happy Thanksgiving
