After losing our firstborn Harry at 32 weeks of pregnancy, we knew every pregnancy thereafter would not be the joyful anticipation we had during those first 31 weeks. That first-time, surprise, care-free pregnancy feeling was forever tainted by the grief and the harsh reality of knowing first-hand how vulnerable life truly is. A year later […]
