Oh! And I'm featured in an Associated Press article about pregnancy/infant loss, that went out today, and has already been picked up by 67 news outlets across the country (including the Minneapolis Star Trib, my hometown paper)! Holy crap!
Read it here.
Thanks, Frieda, for your wonderful article.
Xoxo (again)

This is awesome! You are so awesome!!!!!
Amazing article. So glad you are being recognized for all your hard work. Good job!!!
I can't thank you enough for giving Freida our information. Kevin and I feel so blessed to have this opportunity to get our story out there and to be able to break the silence just a little bit. You're wonderful xo
What a wonderful article.
I cried reading that article. Kristin, I think you have changed the taboo of speaking about miscarriage and baby loss. Truly.
You and I started out on babycenter in the August 2010 boards with our due dates one day apart. I'm the orange inner tube girl. :)
I've continued reading and following your blog, cried tears right along with you, held on to my baby (after miscarriage) a little tighter...
You and Stevie have made a difference.
I know that will never replace your baby girl, however, she and you impact people every single day and I can only imagine how so very proud she is that YOU are her mama. ♥

Kristin, I was about to email you that the article had been published when I saw your post! I'm so happy that it is being picked up in so many papers and news outlets. I hope we can help others who have to face stillbirth, miscarriage or infant loss in the future. Thank you so much for sharing the story of your beautiful daughter, Stevie, with me. Best of luck in all that you do. Freida
What a great article. I was not aware you started the Faces of Loss, Faces of Hope page. What a great thing you created. Stevie has such a great momma!
This is great!
You totally deserve such a wonderful article to recognize your amazing work. Thank you for all you do!
Wow, your article really grabbed me - I'm still crying. Your story, your blog header photos, and your words beneath the photos - just powerful images.
I will pass on your inspiration and strength and hope to my clients who have also faced loss - that goes unrecognized by society (IVF failures as well as similar loss as you endured). thank you for sharing this part of your family with me and others.
thinking of you today...excited to meet you at John & Lisa's wedding in a few weeks!
oh - hope you had some great cupcakes.
and I put quarters in a couple extra parking meters yesterday for Stevie. :-)
Happy Birthday Stevie Joy! I hope you know how much your sweet life has changed so many people!
Happy Mother's Day Kristin!
Thinking about you today!
How wonderful!
I'm reminded of something I wrote after we lost our baby. The following is an excerpt from Heaven's Records:
Let’s take a walk into my wild imagination for a moment. I’ve often wondered how much our loved ones are allowed to see. I’m specifically referring to those that have passed on to Heaven. The Bible says that there will be no more crying there. One would have to question just how much of this old rotten earth they would be allowed to see. I find myself believing that every once in a while they are allowed to peak through tiny holes in Heaven. I’m hoping that God will allow them to see our finer moments. Maybe they are allowed to look into the great halls of Heaven’s records; not just the recorded past, but the recorded future.
I find myself thinking about the baby that we lost this past year. I can almost hear the pitter patter of tiny little feet as they make their way through heaven. I wonder if this little person will be full of questions. Our child is a citizen of Heaven, but I wonder what he or she will be told. Is our little one, who only knows the love of the Heavenly father, waiting for my arrival? Will this little person scour the record books of Heaven trying to find any glimpse of my life? Maybe, just maybe, the date of my arrival has not only been recorded, but it will be glanced upon by those little inquisitive eyes. I can just imagine our child making a daily trip to the hall of records. I can see this little person thumbing their way through each and every page until finding my name. Like most children, asking the angels will never be enough to satisfy their curiosity. They just have to see it for themselves. I find great comfort in knowing that my name has been written down in Heaven. I find peace in knowing that there are angels guarding my name, and very possibly, little fingers that are tracing over it.
We must never forget that someone is watching and waiting for our arrival.

such an amazing article, Kristen... you are an inspiration to us all.
and all the way over here in New Zealand that article was published - thanks for helping to get the word out - Angelique
Kristin - Just wanted to see how you were doing. I hope you made it thru Mother's Day. Thinking of you and sending you warm Stevie Joy thoughts - Amy
So many of us are thinking of you and hope you are doing OK.
I hope you're okay. I miss you!
