Wow

I was reading this online, and it just blew my mind:

Every year, roughly 576,000 babies die between 14 weeks gestation and one month of life. There are more deaths due to miscarriage, stillbirth and neonatal loss than there are to cancer or heart attacks. And that is not even including the one in four who miscarry in the first trimester of pregnancy.
I seriously had no idea. I wish I never knew...

Whoa! Where did you find that? It is truly scary...and I agree that I wish my boys weren't part of the statistics.

Thanks for checking in with me. I hope AF stays away for you!
