Tara's Story
I met Mike in May of 1998, and he courted me for about a month before I gave him the chance to show me the wonderful partner he could be.
Not much happen that was outstanding over the next four years till on June 13th 2002, Michael Eugene entered our lives.
After four years of infertility with Mike, we found out that our first son had died in the same moment that we found out he had existed. He was a late miscarriage, as he was about sixteen weeks LMP, four weeks to young to be a stillborn, and we hadn¿t even know he was there.
On January 10th 2003, Viktor Michael joined his big brother in heaven. He was seventeen week LMP, three weeks to young to be a stillborn. We had known Viktor was there from the beginning, but had trouble with a miscommunication between doctors and so my first appointment wasn¿t till seventeen weeks along, at that point nothing could be done.

June 21st 2004, the day after father¿s day, our fourth child, Nicoli Lee-Michael, died. He was only 11 weeks LMP, so we will never know if he was a boy or a girl, but in my heart, I know we lost another son.
June 7th 2006. Matthew Michael-Lee was born at 9:45 AM. He was 8 lbs. 3oz. and 20 1/2 inches long. Though his birth was difficult and his cord was around his neck, he came though it wonderfully, having an APGAR of 6 when he was born. He spent his hospital stay with us in my room.
My sons are a large part of me and to know about me is to know my family, those with me and those I lost. I need the world to know that I am the mother of more than the little ones they see, not for pity, but because I am a mother and all of my babies mattered to me.
