Emma

allened2 - 03:27am Nov 8, 2011 EST

It began with my 20wk ultrasound....It's a GIRL!!! Hours later received a call saying you need to be admitted to the hospital you have a shorten cervix? Ok
So I began my journey on Bedrest in and out of the hospital...cervix keeps shortening...which means pre-term labor. My water broke in the hospital...with in 24 hrs Emma was born via emergency c-section. She lived that dayl for 12 hrs on life support...given lots of blood, and still at the end of the day, we took her off life support....she died in my arms. I had a healthy previous pregnancy...Love my 2yr old Izzy!!!

My life has changed, and no longer take for granted things that can be taken away so fast!

I love the photo of Emma. My son Brian died in my arms too, after a horrific month in the NICU. The one and only time I held him. I then had to care for his twin isabella and keep moving forward although I wanted to stop and die. You can do it too. Have faith in yourself.
