Freshly married and firmly in the honeymoon stage we found out we were pregnant for the first time. The pregnancy went well. Every appointment went smoothly. We both wanted a boy and we felt so blessed to get the beautiful news of a baby boy. In the 3rd trimester Mom was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. It was managed well without need for medications. Then, at 35 weeks, Mom didn’t feel little boy kick like he usually does. We went to the ER late at night and received the devastating news “I’m sorry there’s no heartbeat.” Our beautiful baby boy was born sleeping the next day at 5lb 15oz and 19.5in, the day we were supposed to have our baby shower.
After heartbreak and wondering if we are destined to be parents we tried again 8 months later. Then for 11 months, we were about to go to the fertility clinic, we finally found some hope. We were pregnant for the second time. What a blessing to be called parents to two children.
