Erie...

Try just try to wrap your mind around this one...I recieved this email.

I just wanted to send you a message to let you know that I found your site "my world" and it brought a tear to my eye. I'm currently 20 weeks pregnant and 1 day and suffering from severe oligohydramnios. I'm in the hospital with fluids and I'm being monitored but more than likely, I will have to give birth to my little girl very soon. They are suggesting that perhaps she has renal disease. I just wanted to send you this message because, I too am from Illinois(Naperville) and my friend Sue suggested the name Cara because it was Italian and meant "beloved". I have planned on giving my daughter up for adoption the whole time(her father is in the Army in Alaska, I'm 25 and busy in veterinary medicine) and don't think that I could provide for her like a family could. So, I never really considered a name. Personally, I always liked Corryn. Anyway, just wanted to let you know that I was touched by your story. I wish you the best of luck with any future pregnancies


Ok so that was first. Sadly she did end up giving birth 8-17 to her baby girl who lived shortly before going to heaven.



NOW my Mom works for a newspaper company in Illinois. Now this girl who lost her sweet daughter Cara lives in the same town as my family and a few towns over from me. There are tons of newspapers and people at newspaper companies...

Here is an email my mom got...

I am inquiring as to the possibility of creating an obituary for my daughter, who was born yesterday at 6:17 pm. I was only 20 weeks and 1 day gestation and she passed quickly after  being born. I was given the choice of registering her(or not) because since I had not yet hit the 21 week mark, it was still considered a miscarriage. They are telling me that <20 weeks is miscarriage and >20 weeks is stillborn. I was stuck in the middle. But she still very much looked like a "person". My heart aches and I would do anything for this small, but tangible piece of evidence to her existence. Please let me know what I need to do or who I need to contact to possibly make this happen; seeing as I did not register her. Thank you very much for your time.

My Cara was born on the 17th as well. 

How crazy is this. Small small world. 

Please keep this woman in your prayers and her sweet daughter Cara.
