Skipping ahead ... to about October of 2012

Chase and I found out we were pregnant in September and we went to our first ultrasound appointment in October. Being able to hear the heartbeat of our child was one of the most exciting moments in our lives.  I had an eventful pregnancy. I had morning sickness until I was about 24 weeks along. I then had preterm labor at about 23 weeks..  due to a kidney infection, walking pneumonia, e coli, a fever of 105º, and contractions. They were able to give me a shot to stop my contractions. I was able to stop having fevers after about three days in the hospital.  Because of many prayers and a blessing I was able to return home and the baby decided to stay a while longer!
