I could not e happier when I found out I was pregannt for child number 2. I found out that I was pregnant shortly after a infection of some kind (Yeast?). I was thrilled. The preganncy was going great no morning sickness and all my appointments were going great.

The evening of week 21 I was laying in bed and PROMED. I went to ER were I was admitted for 10 weeks of bedrest. The baby boy that I have was truely a mircle. I was told his lung were not developed and that I was going to lose him. Every two weeks an ultrasound was done to check fluid levels and there was NEVER any fluid to measure. I was not giving up after 10 weeks away from my 1 1/2 year old and family.

Joseph Vito was born May 12, 2000 at 2lbs. He was in NICU for 31 days and is currently doing wonderful. I thank God for him every night. Please do not give up the hope for survival.

God Bless
