Grace Weston

Grace Danielle Weston was the stillborn daughter of Julia and Nathan Weston. She was delivered at thirty-eight weeks gestation on June 23, 2006, after four earlier miscarriages. Her middle name honored Julia’s sister Danielle, and she became the older sister of Logan Weston, who was born in 2008.

Pregnancy and Birth

Main article: Grace Weston’s Birth and Stillbirth (June 23, 2006) - Event

Grace was Julia and Nathan’s fifth pregnancy and the first carried to thirty-eight weeks. Her approximate due date was July 7, 2006, making the June 23 delivery about two weeks early. Her parents chose her first name during the pregnancy and prepared a sage-green nursery at their Baltimore home.

Labor began on June 22. At Johns Hopkins Hospital, an ultrasound confirmed that Grace had died in utero. Julia delivered her at approximately 3:47 a.m. on June 23 after roughly eighteen hours of labor. The autopsy was inconclusive, and no definitive cause of death was established.

Grace weighed six pounds fourteen ounces and was nineteen inches long. She had deep brown skin and dark curly hair. Julia, Nathan, and other members of the family held her after delivery, and the hospital took a photograph. Diana was already staying with Julia and Nathan in Baltimore before labor began; Nisha was the first of Julia’s siblings to arrive from Houston after the delivery.

Family Remembrance

Grace was buried after the stillbirth. Her photograph remained in a keepsake box in Julia and Nathan’s bedroom, and the nursery prepared for her remained closed for approximately two years before it became Logan’s room.

Julia and Nathan told Logan about Grace while he was a child. He learned her full name, saw her photograph, and grew up knowing that he had an older sister.
