I know that some of you know of our recent news, but for the few of you who do not know...

On October 4th I went into labor around 1 in the morning. I was sound asleep and thought that I had wet my pants since I had such a weak bladder during pregnancy, then it happened again around 2:30, and again around 4:30 only then did I realize that my water had broken. We rushed to the hospital, and they tried everything to stop my labor, but with no luck London Helene and Ryder James were born at 12:08 and 12:09 pm.

London was born first weighing in at 2 lbs 6 oz and Ryder second at 2 lbs 9 oz.Ryder left us on October 5th at 11:45, after only 34 short hours, and London is still in the NICU at Saint Mary's.

Ryder's services were on Tuesday, and were absolutely beautiful, and we feel so blessed that he was in our lives for even such a short time. I was blessed to give him what he needed to progress on, and he will be forever loved and missed everytime I see another little boy. London is our strength through this all, and we get to see him grow inside of her everyday.

Please keep her in your prayers, and we pray she will be home with us in only 8 more weeks. Here are a few pictures of my little angel!!
