What a day.

This blog is being converted over so that I can share with you daily updates, events and life for Simon Gabriel, born too soon.

It’s a matter of when.
It’s been a while since I’ve updated on how I am doing and how this pregnancy is fairing. I’ve had some good days; days filled with little to no bleeding and hardly a sign of fresh blood. The days have progressively gotten worse, though. I’m still home, only because I have [...]
