"It was just scary, and a surreal feeling, because you're lying there wondering what's going to happen, knowing that I'm going to deliver my children in a matter of minutes or hours, and knowing that most likely my children are going to die."
Join host Stephanie as she chats with Stacey Skrysak, mama to surviving triplet Peyton and two angel babies, Abigail and Parker. Stacey's story is truly an inspiration, having gone through a parent's worst nightmare not once, but twice, and coming out the other side. Stacey bravely and beautifully shares the story of her pregnancy and the birth of all three of her children, and through it all she reminds us all that grief is a forever process; we are never "over it", but rather getting through it. This month, as we remember all of the babies who were gone too soon, please take a moment to tell their mamas (and their daddies too!) that you are thinking of them, and be sure to say their names when you do.

Moms with jobs feel like they can't always be present, but data shows that it is the quality of the time you spend with your kids and not the quantity. So pay attention to what is important to your kids and show up for that. Work might limit the experiences you can have with your children but it doesn't eliminate them.
