The Gift of Kristen Eva

I didn't know on that day that things were going to go horribly wrong. I knew that I was leaking a small bit of fluid, but maybe it wasn't fluid, maybe I was being overcautious. None the less, I called my Mother in Law to come look after Jenna, my two year old, while I ran to the hospital. I really didn't think anything was serious.. I was singing in the truck on the way into town for God's sake! I grabbed a bite before I went up to emergency... I was just going to make sure everything was alright.... It wasn't.

He flipped the switch and the room darkened. “Maybe now we will get a clearer view” he said.
I stared at the screen and it was still. Nothing. No movement or fluttering at all. “There is no heartbeat is there?” I said, fighting back tears.

My husband & I conceived Liam shortly after we were married. I was consumed with the desire to have a child once I met Greg. I had found forever. The one. And I wanted us to share our lives with a child. I couldn’t wait to pass on family traditions & take care of something that needed me. To nurture & love a baby. To raise a child.

Mom to Nola Sophia

Born at 22 weeks

Grosse Point, Michigan

After celebrating our 1 year anniversary my husband and I were ecstatic to find out that we were pregnant! It was an easy pregnancy compared to what others had told me of their experiences. We were relieved that we were able to conceive in just one month since we didn’t know what to expect. I had very little morning sickness and on most days my complaint was that I didn’t “feel” pregnant.

Mom to twins, Chloe Danielle and Zoe Grace 

Stillborn at 22 weeks on August 20th, 2007

Due to undiagnosed Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome

Frederick, Maryland

I was 39 years old, working full-time and trying to divide myself between two toddlers, two high school seniors and a full blown (and quite ugly) custody battle over my two elementary school aged daughters who had been kidnapped by their father (my ex) two years prior. My marriage wasn’t exactly the Rock of Gibraltar sort of relationship during that time and honestly having a baby wasn’t exactly in the forefront of my mind. But there I was. Pregnant. Again.

Trena

Mom to twin boys Bryston Gabriel and Colton Joseph

Born and passed on August 15th, 2010 at 22 weeks, 1 day

Camby, IN

I am blessed with two amazing daughter's. Tianna, who was born in 2005 and Aubrianna, who was born in 2008.

In 2009 I went to the doctor because I wasn't having my period. It had been over 3 months at that time. After doing some tests I was diagnosed with PCOS. Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome. We weren't ready to have another child at that point so I started taking the birth control pill and my periods came back and became regular. In February of 2010, my husband and I decided that we wanted to start trying for our third child. We were told that it could take a year or more to get pregnant and that we may even need fertility treatments. On April 10, 2010 I took a pregnancy test. I was not expecting it to come back positive, but it did! We were in shock. We conceived in a little over a month and without any medical help. On May 4, 2010 my husband and I went in to have an ultrasound done. We were told that we were 7 weeks 3 days pregnant and that there were two babies!

Mom to Victoria Ann

Born March 18, 2010

Philadelphia, PA

In the summer of 2009, I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). The diagnosis had me seek out a fertility specialist to assist me in getting pregnant. I truly thought that infertility would be my biggest hurdle when beginning a family. My husband and I felt very lucky when we quickly got pregnant in October of 2009. I truly couldn’t believe it. My prayers were answered.

Texas

I have been married to the man of my dreams since December 10, 2005.  We met on a blind date and had a whirl wind romance.  We married six months after that fist date.  I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 18.  I told Ken before we got married that we may never have kids of our own.  But, we started trying to conceive right away.  After four years of fertility meds and nothing we opted for adoption.  We were working our way through all the courses and paperwork when in September of 2009 I took a pregnancy test that would forever change our lives.  I was so excited to be pregnant.  I never thought I would ever carry my own. Ken was overjoyed.  We called all our family right away.  I had an early ultrasound done because I could not remember when my last period was.  I was 7 weeks and 5 days pregnant.  And, the journey began.

Though a flower may not bloom,

In our heart, we still know,

The beauty of its blossom.

So it is with this tiny someone...

In January of 2010 my husband and I found out we were expecting baby number three! We were excited, but scared. We had not planned for a new baby and had mixed feelings on the timing. Each month we became more and more excited.  After seeing our baby in the first ultrasound we were in love! He/she was active with a heartbeat of 171. I was 11 weeks along and everything was fine. The new baby would be here in August!
