Like we had just bought a house that we were renovating.

My parents were traveling.

We had moved to Pennsylvania at that point.

My parents would travel up and it would just be like the best visits, you know, like I would hug my dad and just be like, I have my dad, like, you know, like.

Just remember feeling that so much like I still feel that when I like I'm just like I have my dad like I almost didn't have my dad and I Think my parents had just left and

We were working on our house because we wanted to get moved in before we had the baby.

And I realized that the baby wasn't moving.

And my husband thought I was being paranoid.

My doctor thought I was being paranoid.

But they ended up having me come in the next day just to be sure so they could kind of ease my mind.

And they didn't find a heartbeat.

I was at 23 weeks, almost 24 weeks.

So I had to go deliver him.

He looked just like his siblings.

It was, you know, not something that you have ever prepared for.

Like you don't get pregnant and be like, well, if I have a stillborn, these are the things I'm going to do.

you're kind of like blindsided in the hospital with like, okay, you need to pick a funeral home.

Do you want pictures taken?

Do you want, you know, all these things that you're like, I didn't even know this was a thing.

Like, I didn't know I had to choose this.
