I was 32.3 weeks gestational when I went into labor with our first son, who was conceived through IVF as my husband and I struggled for years with infertility due to my health. I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy on 12-1-2025 at 5:34 am. Due to him being early, I only got to hold him for about 30 seconds before he was off to the NICU at Renown Regional.

My husband and I were stressed but making it until 12-7-2025 when he started to have pain in his abdomen. He was admitted into the hospital a week after our son was born to have his appendix removed. We could really use assistance or even just prayers at this time.
