Age at birth

As I understand, the Chinese culture ages babies at 1 year when they are born. Perhaps they understood what modern medicine now recognizes as ten months of gestation (nearly a year) and what we stillbirth moms now know all too painfully. Our babies are loved by us and part of the family well before they are born.

Absolutely!

We haven't placed a headstone on Ethan's gravesite yet, and I told my husband, "I don't just want to put one date on his headstone". He was here, from the moment of conception until the day of his death, 32 wonderful weeks.
