Winter has a wonderful conversation with Kaileigh about her daughter Melody, who was stillborn at 21 weeks and 5 days. Kaileigh talks about how she had the "perfect" first trimester with very little morning sickness. How the got the 3D ultrasound and the beautiful videos of Melody. Kaileigh then recounts having a premonition feeling that something wasn't correct as they come home from a short vacation. Kaileigh and her husband went in for the postponed 20 week ultrasound and were told that their daughter didn't have a heartbeat. Melody was born the day after and Kaileigh was blessed to have had many wonderful hospital staff members that helped her in her grief.
