Dear Marlena.
I am in the hospital due to **********
which showed up at 26 weeks. I went in for a routine OB appointment thinking I’d be in and out and ended up at the hospital being admitted. I’m now 28 weeks and won’t be going home until delivery. I have a 19 month old daughter at home which has made this situation beyond excruciating.

That being said, someone from your organization dropped a box off for me, to my complete surprise. I cannot begin to tell you how much this kind gesture meant to me. It made me very emotional and I cried for hours. People like you make all the difference and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. To be away from my family and daughter has been the toughest thing I’ve had to do, and layering on the stress of my pregnancy and trying to bring my son into this world healthy and more gestationally mature has really taken a toll.

Please know that what you do makes a difference. And people like me who didn’t even realize we needed something like that…it made my day, my week.

Thank you for thinking of me! You guys are amazing! ❤️

{SIXTEEN}
Today marks 16 years since we met the antepartum world. A world of maternal-fetal specialists, terbutaline, procardia, magnesium sulfate, polyhydramnios, amnioreductions, amniotic fluid testing, betamethasone, fetal fibronectin testing, non stress tests, prescribed sleep medication, strict bed rest, clock watching, NICU talks, pool therapy, receiving news you don't want to hear and automatically disliking the healthcare professional because of the news they told you. The amount of emotions that consume one during this time is overwhelming; the fear of having to care for a pre term infant, the anxiety that automatically shows up, sleepless nights thinking the reality could be this pregnancy ending in devastation, trying not to think about the financial aspect, missing your children at home, the relief that you kept your baby or babies in utero another day, the stress when the fetal monitoring isn't going well.....I remember in detail my heart feeling like it was broken to pieces wondering "how am I going to me forward after this?"
I can tell you this, you move forward. It is difficult, but you do move forward. You will have a different perspective on life. I am less tolerant of certain personalities. Some days I worry more because I experienced a reality that wasn't suppose to happen. Other days I have no fear because I experienced what most don't-the loss of a child.
When I look back on 16 years I confidently say "I wouldn't change a thing." 16 years ago what we experienced shaped us into what we are doing today: Acts of Grace Foundation
