JeReMIah

As many of you know this past February we began to live every parents worse nightmare. We found out our unborn son, Jeremiah had Trisonomy 13. Knowing what the end result would be we decided to continue on our sons life and to rejoice everyday we have him. February to now has been an emotional roller coaster. In May we had a scare. Jeremiah's heart rate was high above 200. All I could think was, "I am not ready to let go... it is to early..." God blessed us and had Jeremiah's heart rate go back to normal. The doctors could not explain why it happened or why it went back to normal, but they too were glad to see his heart rate go back to 151. At 5:30am on June 26 we went into labor and had Jeremiah at 12:05pm. Jeremiah was beautiful. He had long dark hair and Malachi's nose. He also had his daddy's legs. He weighed 4.9lbs and was 19.1in long, just as long as Malachi when he was born. He lived for 48 minutes. During those 48 minutes he got to meet his big brother who just LOVED all over him. Kevin and I could not have asked for anything better. He was so sweet and loving to his little brother. Malachi loved him so much that he wanted to know "Where's the baby" when Jeremiah was no longer with us. The fact that Malachi still talks about him, a month after he was born, lets us know that those 48 minutes were worth everything we went through. God blessed us so much with Jeremiah. We pray that he will continue to be a testimony and that he will impact many. We have been very blessed to have such loving friends and family and are thankful for all of you.
