In the last year, I have had 4 friends lose a total of 5 sweet babies. The number goes up to 5 friends and 11 babies when I look past this last calendar year. For quite some time now...
Oct. 15 is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day. Tonight at 7 p.m. all around the world, people will be taking part in what we call the ‘wave of light’; where we light a candle and let it burn...
I am here to tell you that I am an incredibly accomplished person. I've run a full marathon. I've given birth naturally. I've become a foster Mom.
AND, I have survived the first trimester of a pregnancy. While I had...
