On my knees in new ways, my heart broken into a million new and tiny pieces when my baby died a year ago...the baby who was such a miracle that first day. Cousin-twins for a second time running, my sister and I burgeoning with babes at the same time, living an eighth of a mile apart, sharing every joy and wave of nausea, the unpacking of the baby clothes and the stocking of the nursery in expectation. Dreams awakened, not by my own ...

I have four children here now, a constant source of joy. And three in heaven, just a dream and prayer when they went home to Jesus. After phone call after phone call yesterday, I finally found a doctor who shared my beliefs about stopping the beating heart of my own child. That doctor was able to reassure me that my baby had stopped developing weeks ago, and probably never had a beating heart at all. Which meant another on my rather short list of worst fears was coming true: I had a persistent ectopic pregnancy consisting only of placental tissue that my own body could not get rid of. Growing inside me and causing the 8-9 out of 10 pain I suffered for almost 24 hours.The girls and I sat cross-legged on the front room floor as I explained to them that our baby - the miracle baby we w...

Just to clarify, Aaron and I chose the tubal sterilization surgery because I had such complications with Caleb's pregnancy. We felt further pregnancies may risk my life, and didn't feel that was a route God intended us to take at the time. However, any "mistakes" that might happen in the future would be gladly welcomed with much rejoicing! I know countless Christians who have made similar decisions about limiting family size...and wait, regardless, for another "mistake" to come their way.So here is the "mistake". I still can't wrap my head around why God would allow a pregnancy, a miraculous one that defies medical logic, only to allo...

Cord Blood Laboratories has 24-7 medical assistance where a physician can speak to our medical staff for clarification if he has any questions or concerns.  Cord blood collection is easier than ever and as more and more physicians gain experience with cord blood collection, this question will no longer be an issue.

Now the stress of looking svelte has reached pregnant women, some of whom have begun dieting and exercising excessively to be thin. To describe this latest phenomenon, the press has chosen “pregorexia,” — following in the footsteps of other trendy terms like drunkorexia and orthorexia — and the media and blogosphere have been abuzz about it all week. New Zealand and England in particular have seen an increase in expectant moms restricting their eating and upping their workouts to try to stay trim. Not surprisingly, like the pressure for the perfect six-pack and toned thighs, the pressure to be a fit, trendy mom trickles down from the media and Hollywood. It’s tough not to pay attention to the i...
