CHAMPAIGN – After their babies died, Meghan Drewes and Becky Ames grieved and prayed and wondered if their arms would ever feel full again.

This year, each mom had her answer.

Drewes and Ames – the co-founders of Empty Arms, a local infant loss support group – have their arms full once again, after each gave birth to a healthy son, Coby James Drewes, born May 24, and Trevor Alan Ames, born July 24.
