My sweet baby Audrey ❤️
(Sculpt is Autumn sleeping and artist was Angela of Reborns by Lacey)
I am absolutely obsessed with her. She is so perfect.
I was a solo mom of two littles, and did everything alone for the first 7 years of their lives. The newborn age was my absolute favorite, but because I was mostly just trying to survive and provide them with a comfortable life, I feel like missed so much by kind of just rushing through it.
I promised myself that I would get to "do it right" one day when I met the right person, but life threw me a curve ball when that day finally came, and now we are a blended family of 6. With that being said, we decided that we are done having kids (we dont have the space or the money for a fifth), and I've really been struggling with the finality of it. While I was in complete agreement on this, I still felt/feel intense grief from time to time at the thought of that dream never coming to fruition.
I was a quiet lurker of the reborn community, but felt too ashamed to ever make the leap to join. But after dealing with the waves of grief that come and go whenever they want for years, I decided to bring it up to him. Oh goodness, Im so glad I did. He was very supportive, and tbh I'm not sure why I ever thought he'd be anything but...
Anyhow, meet miss Audrey. She was my "anniversary gift" from him this year, and I could not be more in love.
