I can't believe it has been a year. I love the video - you did a great job and I love that your whole family released white balloons. I have a friend who is pretty much going through the same thing as you. She has 4 girls and was having her first boy. The difference was they found out halfway through the pregnancy that he wasn't going to make it past birth. As of Tuesday, he was 6 days old. I haven't heard if he's still here or not, but he had already made it a day past the 5 days the doctor's guessed. I just want to give her your phone number because I feel like I can't say anything comforting except for, "That really sucks." I think that's all I've really said to her. Watching my friends go through these kinds of things makes me go home and hug my little girl so tight. Thanks for blogging. Love you guys.
