Our Preemie, Kaylee Jane was born 2 months early

Kaylee Jane was born by emergency c section on October 1, 2021. She had stopped moving in my belly and we went to the emergency room early in the morning to check on her. Doctors confirmed she needed to come out- her heart rate was declining and there was NO amniotic fluid to support her in utero.

Kaylee’s delivery happened just ONE year to the month after we lost our first baby in the first trimester.. Coincidence? Or God’s plan? It was October of last year (2020), she was 8 weeks gestation and our miscarriage report from pathology confirmed Trisomy 13, Turner’s Syndrome. I am crying as I type. Our first little girl.

Realizing Kaylee was born 8 weeks early at 32 weeks, born October (2021) one year later. She is our rainbow baby. I’ll share further on that. We found out we were pregnant with Kaylee on St. Patrick's Day- and to share the symbolism of a rainbow brings further tears to my eyes.

In all, I felt the need to express myself during this time- I needed an outlet to self reflect and pour into.

I hope you enjoy our site filled with our journey through preemiehood.
