Since we have so many new loss moms, I thought we could do another shout out. This is a place to brag about our beautiful babies, share memories, pictures if you want to. We ARE mamas, and these are our beautiful children!!!
This is my daughter, Anastasia Maeve. Born March 2nd 2013 at 36 weeks 5 days after we discovered her heart stopped beating. No known cause of death. She was so cute, with my nose and her Daddy's lips and cheeks!
Here is my girl, with her teddy bear from the hospital.
This is my son Christopher, born March 13th, 2014. Lived for 1 hour 20 minutes and passed away due to complications of bilateral renal agenesis (a fatal condition that is incompatible with life).
Had mommy's hair and chin and daddy's lips and finger like toes!!
Sweet Georgia Jeanne was born on April 1st, 2014 and took her last breath on May 10th, 2014. This picture was taken in the 40 minutes she lived in our arms after her breathing tube was removed.
ETA: apparently I'm not able to upload pictures right now, will try again later. :-/
Anthony Boyer & Benjamin Charles were born into this world on 1/26/14 with the sweetest little cries that I was not expecting to hear. We held them every moment of the ~4 hours they lived and not a minute goes by that I am not missing them.
My sweet Colton, born sleeping August 28, 2013. 3lbs 13 oz, 17.5 inches long. We think he would have had daddy's blonde hair, just like his big brother.
We love and miss you, and not a day goes by without you. Hard to believe it has already been 9 months without you - doesn't seem right.
Hello! I haven't done my official intro, but will soon. In the meantime, this is my angel, Lincoln. He was born September 16, 2013 and passed away May 14, 2014. He was two days short of eight months old. His death certificate lists liver failure as the primary cause of death and ventricular outflow obstruction (heart problems) as secondary.
Lincoln had trouble with physical milestones because his liver made his belly very swollen and often made him tired, but the doctors were always a little surprised and how smart he was. Our little genious baby! He was the greatest joy I've ever known.
The first picture was taken about two weeks before he passed away. The second was taken when he was somewhere between 3-5 months. He was snuggled in bed with me, which was my version of heaven. He was so fun to snuggle with!
I've said it before, but this post is my favorite. Reading the names and seeing the beautiful photos of these amazing babies breaks my heart at the same time it is being filled. I feel so much love for their enduring spirits, and for each of you amazing women.

I lost my precious angel on June 20, 2014 and 9:41pm. Baby weighed 89gms and was 7" long. It hurts me knowing that I had to say good-bye before I would even say hello. Our angel will forever be in my heart!
My baby girl Madeleine Lily was born June 5th 2014 at 36 weeks because an ultrasound finding with the pressure in the chord indicated she wasn't going to make it much longer. She was amazing at feedings, sucking from a tiny catheter and syringe, eating as much 15mLs per feeding. She had daddy's mouth, my nose, and her own little personality. I took a video of her hoping to let her grandma who lived out of state and couldn't meet her, see and hear her tiny cry. I realized after she passed on June 9th that I could take pics of the video with my iPhone, so I now have a whole bunch of new photos, one of which is mid cry. I can't attach the photo for some reason
@BoraBoraBaby I had a hard time attaching a photo too:) I didn't realize there is "Attach a File" at bottom left hand side under the text box that you need select before you post. (Not sure if you missed it too)
My daughter, Serenity Quinn, born sleeping March 7, 2014. The nurse did not allow us to take pictures, but she was beautiful in all ways. Her little footprint is my avatar, so that's as good as we get!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful children, ladies. I second the comment that @kz's_girlygirl made
