BITTERSWEET BIRTHDAYS

I have been coming to SHARE since it's conception, mostly reading others stories and remembering back to the day my son Kobe was born, July 9, 2001. He came at 28 weeks...we were so glad he waited that long. My water broke at 18 weeks, he held on for 10 long weeks, he is truly our miracle. Since his birth we have been strong supporters of the MOD, we are so grateful for what they do! My husband and I struggled with the decision to conceive again, we had such a fight getting Kobe here and in the end we almost lost both of us. However, he was such a joy, and along with his sister Kendra, my step daughter and the easiest baby I ever had, he was the light of our lives. All of the challenges and fears were SO worth it!!
We had decided not to put our family, another child and me through another pregnancy, we would adopt...a few days later we found out we were pregnant. We were scared, but excited. Once again I was put on bed rest at 5 weeks and we settled in for the fight. It was a rough pregnancy, but we were determined. On July 8, while hospitalized, I ruptured. The nurses and doctors rallied around me...they said if anyone can do it, you can. We all got a bit cocky, we figured we would get Kaleb here just like we did with his big brother.
On July 9. 2005 we celebrated Kobe's birthday. He had a small party at our house and then came to the hospital to celebrate with the doctors and nurses who shared his journey and with his mommy who couldn't wait to hug her 4 year old! I had been so uncomfortalbe throughout my pregnancy that I assumed the pain and discomfort I was feeling was nothing new. After my family left I got up to use the restroom and realized that Kaleb was coming.
July 9, 2001 I gave birth to my first miracle, Kobe J. Bracy. He weighed 2 lbs. and was 15 inches long. On July 9, 2005 I gave birth to his little brother, Kaleb Julius Bracy. He weighed 13 ounces and was 10 inches long. He stayed with us for 1 hour and 18 minutes and died peacefully in my arms. July 9 will always be the happiest and saddest day of my life.
