I was recently contacted by Heather Lerner about an event to support First Candle.  First Candle's goal is to increase awareness and raise funds to support the fight against stillbirth.  Heather, who herself lost her son Allan, was kind enough to share her story.  Her journey of healing led her to create her own organization, Allan's Tree.  Allan's Tree works to support First Candle efforts.  Her story is inspirational as well as informative.  I was simply unaware of the randomness of stillbirths and the need for ongoing research.  Here is Heather's story.

Baby is 1-week-old today! So I'm finally coming up for air. I'll keep it short, because, well you know, who has time to bathe when there's a newborn around, let alone blog.

I will spare you all the details of the horrendous delivery, but let it be known that "fast and furious" does not necessarily mean easy! This mama is still definitely in recovery phase, but looking at this adorable little face makes it all worth it.

Thanks for all the well wishes!

I'm going back to bed.
