1 in 4.

Posted in Babies, Births, Break the silence

Did you know October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month? Did you know… October 15th is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Day. 1 in 4 women lose a baby to miscarriage, & 1 in 160 women will experience the stillbirth of their sweet unborn baby. EVERYDAY over 70 babies in the US will be born silent. Over 26,000 babies each year. Share if you are or know someone who has been 1 in 4. Or has experienced a loss like no other. I am 1 in 4.

This photo here was taken during one of my Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep sessions a few months ago. All of baby’s keepsakes were placed inside. On top is a necklace the hospital gave to Momma. I still think of them so often.

Pink or Blue?!

Posted in Babies, Bellies, Births

Ashley and Ryan have tried for months. No wait, years. To get pregnant. After many many months of endless disappointment, finally it happened for them. All in His timing. always.

THREE times they went to find out the gender of their baby. THREE TIMES! and each time baby wouldn’t show. Finally, fourth times a charm. Ashley and Ryan had the ultrasound tech put the ultrasound photo in a sealed envelope for Tasha and I to open. I squealed when we opened it. I couldn’t believe it! I had to keep my mouth shut (let’s face it, I just didn’t talk to Ashley for two days ;))
