Introduction My first child, a little girl we named Hope Angel, was born sleeping after a robustly healthy pregnancy at 40 weeks and 5 days on Tuesday 19 August 2008. She was 8 pounds and perfect, but didn't arrive in to our waiting arms breathing. My second child, a gorgeous little boy named Angus Leo, was born alive and well on Tuesday 17 November 2009. We were then blessed to welcome our third child, a beautiful little girl named Juliet Lily, the day before Hope's third birthday, on Thursday 18 August 2011. I love all three of my children desperately but my heart aches for the absence of my first little girl who got away. This is where I try and make sense of it all.
