We lost Emerson in October of 2024, at 15 weeks pregnant. While we do not know if he was a boy or girl, we firmly believe that he was a boy (we are SO good at making boys!)! He was due on April 13, 2025, which is the day that we celebrate his precious life.

We found out, shortly after Emerson's due date, that we were pregnant again. We spent 18 weeks fighting for the life of our little boy, with many shots and blood draws, trying to do "all the right things." At 18 weeks, we found out that Frederick had passed away and he was born sleeping on August 9, 2025. We got to spend 7 sweet hours with our boy. We celebrate his birthday on that day, to remember his short life. 

We love our boys, both living and in heaven. We are thankful that we get to parent FOUR precious boys, even though we only get to see two of them grow up.

I am forever thankful for No Foot Too Small for giving me a chance to share my boys' stories and to keep their memory living!
