I married my childhood sweetheart in November of 2018. We have 4 children in our now blended family. We knew right away that we wanted to add 1-2 more to our family. We were very fortunate and got pregnant right away with a boy. We named him Easton. When I was 20 weeks along I experienced a little bit of spotting so I called my OBGYN office. They told me if it continued or got worse to come right in. Well by the end of that day it stopped. The next afternoon I started feeling the urge to push while using the restroom and unfortunately my amniotic sac was bulging out. We immediately went to the hospital and upon examination my water broke. The Dr said there was nothing that they could do because he was just too little. On March 22, 2019 at 10:02pm I gave birth to our perfect little boy. His heart beat briefly and then he was gone. We spend hours holding him, praying over him and telling him how much we loved him. In the coming months we began researching and talking to specialists trying to get answers as to why we lost our son. I was diagnosed with Incompetent Cervix, a condition where the cervix is weak or damanged and opens too soon resulting in the loss in an otherwise healthy pregnancy. In August of 2019 I had a transabdominal cerclage placed, which is a band that is placed at the highest level of the cervix to support it and prevent it from opening prematurely. After healing from the surgery we began trying to conceive again. In March of this year we had a positive pregnancy test but sadly the following month we miscarried. Although it has been a hard road to conceive we are not giving up hope. Someday soon we will bring home our rainbow baby.
