Chloe and Hershey

I deeply regret that I have not taken more photos of me/ my belly when I was still pregnant with Chloe. I never knew that I'd lose her after 6 short months. If I'd known, I definitely would have taken heaps of photos of my precious belly.

These are 2 of the much treasured photos that I took about 2 weeks before I miscarried Chloe (around week 22 of my pregnancy). They were taken on 2 separate days and I took the photos because I was amused by how Hershey laid on my belly while I was watching TV in bed. Hershey NEVER used to do it prior to me getting pregnant and I was really surprised when she first did that cos she has always been more attached to Mark than to me, and this rare display of affection was so unexpected. It surprised me enough to take photos of it. Now I am glad I did...

Previously, Mark and I always used to say to Hershey that she is now a 'big sister' to Chloe and that is Chloe's Guardian Angel, so she needs to protect and take care of her 'little sister'... I always found it so sweet when Hershey did that because it looked and felt as though she is 'bonding' with her little sister.

Sadly, Hershey has stopped laying on my belly ever since I lost Chloe... Well, she does come and lie down BESIDE me, but never on my belly anymore.. Do you think Hershey knows/ can sense that Chloe is no longer with us and that's why she's stopped laying on my belly? (Oh and Hershey's been 'sacked' from her Guardian Angel position for failing in her job).
