Hello everyone!
Thank you so much for taking the time to check out our very first newsletter. Blake & I have been working hard to make changes in the coming year for Pregnancy and Infant Loss locally here in Hagerstown, MD. God has blessed us in so many ways. I am hoping that this newsletter can be encouragement, support, and healing for those who have given birth to babies in any trimester resulting in a loss.

I am hoping that this newsletter can be encouragement, support, and healing for those who have given birth to babies in any trimester resulting in a loss.
Blake & I gave birth to our beautiful, firstborn son, Bentley Charles Nalley, on October 18, 2011 at 38 weeks gestational age. We had learned the day before that Bentley was going to be born still. He did not have a heart beat at our appointment we were sent to deliver. He was born at 3:54pm weighing 6lbs 19 inches. He was perfect. We learned very quickly that his life was taken by the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck. We may have said “hello” and “goodbye” in one meeting, but I know I’ll see our Bentley again in heaven. Bentley’s life has made such an impact all over. I am so thankful for the 38 weeks that I was blessed with.
Each month I will remember our precious babies who lives have been taken too soon. I truly believe each babies name is important to remember because our babies regardless how long or short their lives may be--they will bless many.

In this news letter, two mothers have graciously shared their stories. If you'd like your story featured, please email me at [email protected].
When you first find out you are pregnant, there are a million thoughts running through your mind. Will it be a boy or a girl? What will we name him/her? What will he/she be like? When will I start showing? Can I handle a baby? Etc.... One thing that does not run through your mind is will my baby be okay? Will I be okay through the pregnancy? However, for a lot of women, pregnancies are not easy and a lot of heartache comes along with it. Here is my story.
When I first found out I was pregnant, I was 22 years old. I was scared and excited about the prospect of being a mom for the very first time. The pregnancy was rough. The morning sickness never went away. When I was 27 weeks pregnant, I went to my doctor on Thursday because the night before, I had been vomiting what looked like blood. At first, they thought my acid reflux was irritating my throat and stomach, but my life turned upside down that day. As it turns out, I had preeclampsia. My blood pressure was extremely high and I had a lot of protein in my urine. I was sent to the hospital for overnight evaluation. When they realized how severe the complications were, they decided to get me to a better equipped hospital that deals with premature babies. Over the course of the next four days, I was on bed rest and magnesium sulfate for my blood pressure to keep me from seizing. That Sunday, I took a turn for the worse. My kidneys and liver began to shut down, my blood pressure was to the point that it could kill me, and I started contracting.
Monday, May 10th, 2010, at 9:31 am and 9:32 am, I delivered two baby boys. Aiden was 1 lb 14 oz and Micah was 1 lb 13 oz. I got one look at their eyes and they were rushed to the NICU. It took me 2 days to recover from this and I finally got to see my babies. They were the smallest things I had ever seen in my entire life. I broke down in tears for fear of what may come. Over the next few weeks, the babies grew and seemed to be doing fine. On May 31st, 2010, I received the news that Aiden was critically sick and I needed to come to the hospital. He was hooked up to a ventilator and the doctors tried everything they could, but he just was not strong enough. Aiden Richard Mellott, one of my sweet baby boys, passed away on June 1st, 2010. We later found out that it was due to hemorrhaging of the brain and that it was a miracle that he survived 22 days.
This experience devastated me. Even though I still have my sweet Micah, I feel like a part of me is missing. I was lucky, though. I was one of the moms that was able to hold my baby while he was still alive and breathing. And I was singing to him as he took his last breath.
I knew that I would never look at pregnancy the same again. I also knew that my chances of developing preeclampsia again was pretty high. However, on May 22nd, 2013, we gave birth for the second time. This time, to a 24 week baby girl weighing a mere 13 ounces. I thought we would lose her, too. The night after delivery, I grieved as a mother who had already lost a child again. She was only given a 5%-8% chance of survival. Miraculously, our little girl is still here, in the hospital, but weighs 5 lbs 10 ounces now. She is getting a tracheotomy done to help her breathe, but that puts her one step to coming home.
Our little Kylie truly demonstrates the miracles of the human body and God looking after His children. I don't know how she is here today, but I do know that she has an amazing big brother in Heaven watching out for her everyday.

My name is Stacy and I am 25 years old born and raised in Dundalk, MD. My husband and I got married March 17, 2010 and just bought a house in Dundalk. We found out we were expecting July 5, 2012 after 2 years of trying with no luck with a little help from a fertility medicine called Clomid. My pregnancy was an absolute breeze, I enjoyed every minute. No morning sickness, no weird cravings, all tests came back normal. At 16 weeks we found out we were having a girl and we would name her Emma Star, a name I had picked out when I was younger. As the weeks went by and my belly grew bigger and bigger I fell more in love with this little person growing inside me. Every kick, punch, roll and hiccup was the best feeling in the world. I went on to have my baby shower with all my friends and family. We celebrated a new life we would welcome in the next 2 months. Emma and I received so many wonderful gifts from everyone I couldn't wait to decorate her room. On March 7, 2013 I had what would be my last doctor’s appointment. I asked about induction because as any 9 months pregnant woman would be I was done being pregnant and ready to meet my daughter. The doctor said no since I had no health issues in my pregnancy and they wanted labor to start on its own. March 11, 2013 was my husband’s birthday as well as my due date! We went downtown, walked around hoping labor would start on its own and had a very nice dinner. Emma was not ready to come out, I remember thinking she wanted a day all to her own. On March 12, 2013 we went to our new home and painted Emma's room so that we could move furniture in as she could be coming any day. While taking a break I mentioned to my husband I hadn't felt Emma move all day. He insured me that she just fell asleep from my movement which she did a lot. Once we got home I used my home doppler just to reassure myself, but I found no heartbeat. My husband then tried and no heartbeat, he even tried on his own heart to see if the doppler had broken but he was able to pick up his heartbeat. He then said to me "Get your shoes on we're going to the hospital". At this time I wasn't worried, after talking with a couple of my friends who had children they told me Emma probably was turned a way to where it was difficult to pick up a heartbeat, but the expression on my husband’s face was completely different. Once we arrived at labor and delivery they checked me in and I lay in the hospital bed patiently waiting with my husband by my side. The doctor came in used a doppler nothing, they then went to a sonogram machine. At 10:30PM there was my daughter, my first child, my baby girl still. I was numb as I looked at my husband and we both started crying. He wrapped his arms around me and we both just cried. The first person I called when my mother as she answered nice and calm, she was probably expecting to hear I went into labor. I said while crying "Mom, I lost the baby." My mother started screaming "What?! Where are you?!" I handed the phone to my husband as I couldn't hold it together anymore. 20 minutes later my mother and step-dad walked through the door, both through crying eyes hugged me and said how sorry they were. The next 12 hours felt like a dream but it was just the beginning of our nightmare. I still had to go through labor but my mother and husband never left my side. Contractions, epidural, pushing everything that is supposed to end in a beautiful crying miracle, but my ending would be completely different. During those 12 hours I sometimes forgot that I was giving birth to death. I was laughing and joking around a part of me didn't believe this was real, this kind of stuff doesn't happen. 7 pushes.. 7 pushes is all it took for Emma, my sleeping angel to enter the world. Emma Star Moore was born sleeping on March 13, 2013 at 12:34PM weighing 7lbs 6oz and 20.5 inches long. I like to think she wanted to make it as easy as possible for me, but I can't even begin to imagine what my husband went through. There was no joy, no smiling faces as he laid eyes on his silent daughter for the first time. It is a site he will never forget, that night neither one of us will ever forget. Since I had an epidural I had to stay in the hospital for at least 12 hours after delivery and we were fortunate enough to be able to spend it with our angel. Family and close friends came to visit, the hospital was nice enough to take pictures, and a foot mold for us to keep as well as a locket of Emmas hair and her hospital bracelets. I just remember looking at her face and touching her soft skin and being amazed at how gorgeous she was. She definitely had her daddies’ nose but she had my lips down to the very form of my mouth. I never wanted my time with her to end but it seemed time moved faster than ever. On March 14, 2013 at 12:34AM I had to say goodbye to my baby girl. I would never see her in the flesh, never hold her, and never kiss her again. Handing my daughter over to a nurse to never be seen again is by far the hardest and most heartbreaking thing I will ever have to do in my lifetime. Leaving the hospital without her and the days following you can't even begin to describe the pain; I don't wish this on my worst enemy. Later we were informed Emma was completely healthy. There were signs of Placental Abruption, which is when the placenta detaches from the uterine wall but it will never be confirmed. Not a moment goes by that I don't think of her and though the pain has lessened it never goes away. As you think of the milestones she will never experience. Crawling, walking, her first word, countless birthdays, first day of school, prom, college, marriage, and children of her own. Life as I know it will never be the same. Stacey Moore

Have you heard about Return to Zero? It's a new movie that is trying to come to theaters in 2014!
RETURN TO ZERO is based on the true story of a successful couple who are preparing for the arrival of their first child. Just weeks before their due date they are devastated to discover that their baby son has died in the womb and will be stillborn.
Maggie and Aaron attempt to go on with their lives but cannot escape their postpartum grief. Their lives and relationship have been forever altered by this loss. They try to cope in a myriad of ways — through denial, escape, and alcohol — but when Maggie ultimately discovers that Aaron is having an affair with a co-worker, she decides to end the marriage.
Just when Maggie believes she has started a new life, she discovers that she is pregnant by Aaron (from a last ditch ‘this will save the marriage’ getaway to Vegas.) With the help of an empathetic doctor who experienced a similar loss years ago, Maggie finally grieves for the loss of her son. Then she and Aaron must reunite to face a turbulent and terrifying pregnancy.
Please check out the website to find out how you make this movie happen. http://returntozerothemovie.com/blog/

Return to Zero is also putting together a book called "Three Minus One". Check out Amazon where you can pre-order your copy. http://www.amazon.com/dp/1938314808/ref=tsm_1_fb_lk
