HI everyone! I want to thank you for visiting our page and reading our story.
In July 2012 we said, “I do.” We decided to wait a while before starting our family. Choosing to spend time traveling and enjoying married life.
In 2014 we decided it was time to start our family. After suffering a miscarriage at 7 weeks, we tried again and poof! We were instantly pregnant. It was a difficult pregnancy, and I was put on bed rest for 5 months. At 27 weeks I went into preterm labor and had an emergency C-section that almost took my life. Our sweet Ana fought hard to stay with us, but her heart gave out the next day. We were devastated but glad for the short time we had with her. Returning home to clean out her nursery and prepare funeral arrangements was surreal. The doctors said I would be able to try again in 2 years.
3 years later, poof, I was pregnant again. We were over the moon! We had a gender reveal party and created a new nursery and planned our baby shower. We decided on God parents and where he will go to pre-school. At 32 weeks I woke up in excruciating pain. I was rushed to the hospital where I found out Victor had broken through my placenta depriving him of oxygen and causing internal bleeding in myself. As they wheeled me in for an emergency C-section, I grabbed my doctor and begged him to save Victor and not me.
I woke up to my breast full and leaking of milk, and no Victor. He was stillborn. Again, returning home to clean out a nursery and prepare funeral arrangements.
I honestly don’t know how we have survived these past few years. Heartbroken and lost in the world, do not even come close to explain how we feel. The doctors said I was lucky to even be alive after both operations. “Lucky” was the word he used. How could we be lucky with two urns sitting on top of a dresser in what would have been a nursery?
The future we had envision was taken from us after we found out I will never be able to carry another child.
We started IVF with the hopes of one day hiring a surrogate to help us reach our dream. We now have embryos that are frozen and waiting. We are in the process of hiring a surrogacy agency and finding someone to be the oven to our bun. This is a lengthy and costly process. Its mentally, emotionally and financially exhausting.
We will be forever gratefully for any donation or prayers sent our way. We need your support now, more than ever.
