~Waiting For Nimkee~
During my 5th month of pregnancy with Bennett-Chadlen I received the heartbreaking prenatal diagnosis of Trisomy 13. As I struggled with the implications of what this could mean, I did my best to prepare for an unknown future with my darling, unborn son.
These photos depict our prenatal journey from beginning to end. I share with you such a rare glimpse into the world of the unknown that I, and too many others, have chosen to experience.
How do you prepare to say Goodbye before you've even had a chance to say Hello?

~Plans in the Making~
~Well, it's that time again.
That time of year to begin thinking about and planning our 2nd Annual Nimkee-Blessings Benefit Concert .
We are requesting some feedback concerning venue ideas, so if you know of a location on Manitoulin Island that may be feasible, please let us know by leaving a comment with your suggestions here on this post, or email Melissa at nimkee.blessings@gmail.com.
The location will require ample space with parking, washroom facilities, and preferably a children's play area as this will be a family event.
We will also require a confirmation of musicians that are interested in donating their time to this very worthy cause.
We are very grateful for all of the volunteers that helped to make last year's first concert a success. It was a real learning experience and we hope to become bigger and better in years to come. If you'd like to donate your time or have some fund-raising ideas to offer please don't hesitate to contact us. All suggestions or offers of assistance will be graciously considered.
