In this deeply moving episode, Christina shares the story of her beautiful daughter, Julia, who was stillborn at 38 weeks and 5 days. With tenderness and courage, she speaks about the love that continues to grow for her baby girl, and the complex emotions she carries as she now prepares to welcome her baby boy. In this episode, we talk about:

• the devastating reality of stillbirth
• her experience at the hospital and the pain of leaving without her sweet Julia
• learning all the abbreviations that are connected to trying to conceive after loss
• announcing her pregnancy with her son
• setting the tone for others so they know how we want to approach talking about our babies
• how couples grieve differently
• how setting up baby furniture is a huge act of bravery
• setting up the nursery again and how baby's gender plays a role in what items to keep and what will be stored away (and the emotions that come with that)

Through grief and hope, Christina reminds us that a mother’s love never ends, it only expands.
