Our Story

Welcome to my blog! I will start off by sharing our story. My name is Tabitha, I am happily married to Joe and we have three children. Our first, Nathan joined the angels at 18 weeks gestation on September 11, 2006. This was a journey that I would never wish on my worst enemy . The pregnancy started off horribly since I began having problems with bleeding very early on. During one of the many ultrasounds I had, my obstetrician diagnosed the bleeding as a subchorionic hematoma (blood clot),which in most cases resolves on its own. Unfortunately, in our situation the blood clot continued to grow. In the end it caused the placenta to detach from my uterus, causing Nathan to lose all oxygen and nutrition he was receiving from the placenta. My life is forever changed. Not a day goes by that I do not think about the son that I never got to know.

After losing Nathan we decided trying to conceive again and became pregnant fairly quickly and took another blow when losing the pregnancy to a miscarriage. We tried again. Miscarriage again. We tried again. Veda was born January 8, 2008. Perfect. Beautiful. 6lbs 13oz, 19 1/4 in. What a blessing she is. The pregnancy went along without a flaw. This of course doesn't mean that I wasn't completely neurotic about every little twinge! I constantly was at the office making sure that she was okay. Until I held her in my arms, the whole thing was surreal.

When Veda was just over a year old we decided trying to conceive a sibling for her. Low and behold, we were pregnant a few short months later. The beginning was a bit scary and we believed we were experiencing another failed pregnancy. I went in for an early ultrasound and they found nothing but an empty space were the baby should have been growing. The obstetrician asked me to come back in a week to see if there was any growth. I went back. We progressed. The rest of the pregnancy went off without a hitch! I didn't have the constant fear that I was going to lose my baby and the best part was that I actually enjoyed my pregnancy! Grayson made his debut on February 3, 2010. Perfect. Big. Gorgeous. 9lbs 1oz, 20 1/2in.

Our kids are our lives and we live each day for them. We have had many trials and tribulations but its all worth it. Right now I am focusing on being the best mommy, wife, and future nurse that I can be.
