My wife and I were blessed with two normal pregnancies, and so I can't imagine what you're going through. But stay strong. You and Simone are in my prayers.

I'm hoping you're not posting because you are busy bed-resting and all is well with Simone and she continues to kick you hard. Sending you all best wishes...

I know the grief. Talk, talk, talk about it, both of you, and seek a grief counselor for as long as you need it. It helped me lots and lots. Take good care of both of yourselves. And, you have permission to say FUCK YOU/FUCK OFF to everyone who think they understand (without having experienced this), to those talk about things in religious contexts that are not appropriate, or to those who make some type of selfish, stupid remarks. I am keeping a good thought for you and your dear family.

My baby's name is Simone...she was born at 23 weeks, 3 days. Despite the statistics about babies born this early, she is doing quite well (she's still in the hospital but hopefully will come home at the end of February). Please know that you are not alone out there. I am so, so sorry for your loss and you will be in my thoughts and prayers. My baby’s name is Simone…she was born at 23 weeks, 3 days.
