My name is Amy. Back In October of 2018 I was blessed to find out I was pregnant. In November of 2018 I was devastated when I had a miscarriage. In Feburary of 2019 We were blessed again to find out we were pregnant again. In March of 2019 we found out we were DBL blessed with twins. You couldn't smack a smile off my face was great news they were to be born October 20, 2019. In May of 2019 we found out Baby A was a Girl and Baby B was a boy, I could not have felt more blessed in my life. I have a son whom is 11 and he was happy to hear he was getting both a brother and sister. Everything was going great until June 29th when Baby A water broke I was 23 weeks and 6 days there. We came to the hospital and doctors talked to us about percentages of having to deliver early or hoping they will stay in there til 34 weeks. I was prepared to stay in the hospital as long as it took to keep these babies in me and keep cooking. July 2nd I was having some pain and cramping they kept checking through out the day but I was only dilated to a 3 which when we first came in they said 4 but a few doctors that day said no 3 so maybe my cramping was just gas pains or stretching of my insides from my two little bundles. On July 3rd the pain and cramping was still there and about 10 mins apart all morning. After lunch the they examined me and took blood and all kinds of stuff and realized I had an infection down there from one of the sacks being broke so we had to get the babies out ASAP. We induced and Baby A ( Isabellla ) was born vaginally at 9:15pm on July 3rd Baby B ( Jacob ) was born csection at 9:53pm on July 3rd. They went straight to NICU. On July 4th Bella seemed to be doing well Jacob was bruised and needed a blood transfusion from.the rough delivery he had. When they broke his sack he turned around and they couldn't get him to come back head down so that's why we had to have the csection. Early morning July 5th both babies had a brain scan. Bellas came back great, Jacob's came back showing bleeding on the brain. They tried to give him another blood transfusion but his heart rate was going down and blood started going into his lungs. We had to say our final goodbyes to My Jacob. We had him baptized and family and friends gathered to help us mourn the loss of our 2 day old son in NICU next to his twin sister. Jacob was pronounced dead at 3:50pm on July 5th 2019. Twin Sister Bella is doing great so far still, we have a long haul with her to keep her going. She will be here in the NICU if all goes well in until October. I have never asked for help like this before not like this and it pains me to have to ask but I need help financially with everything that is going on. We are having Jacob Cremated and with Bella still in NICU and having to come here everyday and doing the best I can I just need some help. I will answer any questions anyone may have and apologize and be super Thankful in advance for any and all help. Thank you so much and please keep my Bella girl your thoughts and prayers.
