The Strongest Titan I Know

Well first I'd like to say hello. I'm a mother of 2 angels and a beautiful 9 month old little girl. I'm here to share my story about my children and give others hope that it's not the end.
So here is my story.
Our first Angel was born July of 2006. I was told I was pregnant in April and the doctors thought everything was normal. Well in May I was rushed to the hospital because I thought I had miscarried. The doctors told me it was a miscarriage and told me that they would do an ultrasound to confirm this. Well that was not done and I went home. Later that year in July my husband rushed me to the hospital because I was having abdominal pain. We got there and within 5 minute of arriving there I was using the restroom and took one look and there was my baby. I had still been pregnant. Our son Merrick Martin was born a still born. The doctor estimated I was 20 weeks along. I never got to hold him.
Our Second Angel was born January 13th, 2008. The doctor I was seeing with this pregnancy I felt didn't listen to me. I was very nervous because I didn't want the same thing to happen to this child. I had told him that some of my family members have a condition called Incompetent Cervix. He informed me that this was not a genetic condition. The pregnancy progressed and once I hit 20 weeks the stress in my life somewhat subsided because I had made it longer with this one than my last. Well that only lasted 3 more weeks. Our son was born at 23 weeks and 4 days with the help of forceps. Talk about pain. He was rushed to the NICU. The nurses that took him told me that he was looking fine but having trouble breathing. I spent as much time as I could with him. Talked to him and held him. Merik Michael was born at 7:01 a.m. and passed away in my arms at 9:55 p.m. The next day the doctor I had seen through out the pregnancy came in and told me that I had an Incompetent Cervix. I was so mad because I tried to warn him and he had not listened. I still grieve today. I takes a very long time to be ok with this.
Our daughter was born April 27th, 2009. With our daughter we saw a specialist. She was our Angel sent by God to help us with our daughter and help me through this pregnancy. She monitored me every week. Our first goal was 24 weeks. Well me met that. Then 28 weeks. That one came and went. 30 weeks. Passed that one. 34 weeks. Here she came. She spent 18 days in the NICU and the Doctors and nurses in the NICU were very helpful and supportive. Our Daughter came home in May and is healthy. She is making leaps and bounds with her development.
So to you who have taken time to read my story first thank you. Second if you have been through something like this don't give up. It will happen. Your Angel sent by God is out there to help you. Third it is ok to question your Doctor. Don't just take their word for it. Make them explain why you have this condition or why you don't have it.
Hope, Faith, Love, and Patiantce will help you through this.
