Mike began blogging in late 2007 on his website, The Newborn Identity, where he chronicled his experiences as a stay-at-home Dad to Maddie. After Madeline passed away, Mike's posts changed to reflect his experiences dealing with grief and loss. Today Mike occasionally posts here on The Spohrs Are Multiplying. I've gathered all of Mike's posts here for those who would like to see the Spohr family's journey from another perspective.

The Pregnant Man

January 3, 2012

Remember that movie starring Arnold Schwartzenegger and Danny Devito?
