About
As a mother who has now had to experience the trauma of stillbirth, I wanted to set up a website/blog where I can share my story, my process, my thoughts. Maybe this is just for me. Maybe someone finds this and it is a help to them. Maybe this is just for memories of Maisie Martha.We will see where this may lead.

Maisie Martha Ofsthun, daughter of Ryan and Chelsie Ofsthun, was born sleeping, already being held in the arms of Jesus before mom & dad got the chance to hold her for the first time on December 14, 2020. She was nearly 30 weeks old.
Though her family dearly misses the bright future Maisie would have had, they still had the chance to anticipate her life, hear her heartbeat, get pictures of her perfect little body via ultrasound, and feel all of her amazing movements in utero. She would have been perfect in every way, but managed to get herself in a bind with her umbilical cord.
We cherish the moments we spent with Maisie as we got to admire all 2lbs and 15½in of her. We delighted in her long fingers, skis for feet, button nose, and resemblance to her siblings.
“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.” Psalm 139:13-14
Maisie is survived by her:
Parents: Ryan and Chelsie Ofsthun of Mound, MN
Siblings: Isla and Lachlan
Maisie was stillborn, yet we rejoice that she was still born on December 14, 2020 at Ridgeview Medical Center in Waconia, Minnesota.
