the one thing that still gets me everytime

is when pregnant women talk about how they have reached "v-day" or viability stage in a pregnancy. When a fetus/baby has a fighting chance of making it outside of the womb. It gets me everytime because McKenzie was born at 32weeks 6days, well past "v-day" and theoretically should have lived. She was a premie for sure but should have been able to live outside of the womb. She never even had a fighting chance, she never even got to take her first breath. I never got to hear her cry.
