First attempt at a glass seashell. I made this as a demo for a student. A lot of my hollow sculptural work references sea life, but this is my first time making a “realistic” one!

Introducing Zora Caroline Loughin-Rile! Our beautiful daughter was born just before dawn on 12/1/24, weighing 6lbs 11 oz. She is so sweet, Ben and I are in love!

💛

I spent 51 hours being induced which ended in a C-section. I had severe postpartum preeclampsia and had to be treated and monitored closely. Thankfully I received great care at Pennsylvania Hospital. Zora spent the first 36 hours of her life in the NICU and is doing great now. After a week in the hospital, we are all home now and doing very well! We love our sweet little moon drop
Some light amidst the darkness… Ben and I are thrilled to share that the baby we have been waiting for is finally almost here. We are expecting our rainbow baby in mid-December (in less than 6 weeks!) I am 8 months pregnant with our daughter!

Pregnancy has been a challenge for me physically, on top of my chronic pain. Still I am so thankful to be on this journey. I couldn’t do it without the support of my loving husband, Ben. We can’t wait to meet our girl.

As a note: before I got pregnant again, seeing this type of post used to devastate me. If you are someone who is struggling with fertility or miscarriage, please know you are not alone and you are loved ❤️
