In Memory Of....

Today I ventured to a website I haven't been to for a while www.helpher.org which is a site to support women with Hyperemesis Graviderum in pregnancy (which is what I had).  I opened the page and below is what I saw.  I immediately was sobbing uncontrollably.  I can't help but post this in memory of my lost baby.  I feel such mixed emotions knowing that there are so many others who had to abort babies they wanted to so badly. I know that many of these women who lost their babies to hyperemesis have gone the surrogacy route.   I....and we....are so grateful for surrogates who help ease our pain....just a little bit. 

HG Word Awareness DayIn Loving Memory...

We dedicate the First Annual HG World Awareness Day to the babies and moms lost to HG. The HER Foundation will not stop fighting for these babies and their mothers until an answer of why HG happens and what can be done. At the same time we want to recognize our HG sufferers who are currently enduring HG, we want you to know you are not alone and we are fighting for you and your unborn children. For those who have endured HG in the past, our fight is for you as well.

  1. I'm just catching up on your blog - so very excited for you and support you whole-heartedly. This post broke my heart not just for the lost babies, but for the mothers who feel they failed somehow. I will never know their anguish, but my heart breaks for them to carry that around. My supportive and prayerful thoughts are being sent to you!

  2. I SERIOUSLY could not be any happier for you!!! Our stories are so similar, except we haven't found a surrogate yet!
    You are a HUGE inspiration for me, to see you with your beautiful new son gives me so much hope!
    Lots of Love
