The reason I'm writing this is (short Version). ....I was pregnant with my very first child, whom we later come to find out was a boy. We named him Liam Daniel. I made it 20 WHOLE, AMAZING weeks with my little boy, before I had to let him go. He was very sick and had been since the beginning, we just didn't know it. He would later become diagnosed with Triploidy/Triploidy Syndrome. Open link to read a little bit about his condition. http://www.healthline.com/health/triploidy
We were told (and after many hours of research) that he would most likely not make it to birth and IF he did that he would not make it long after he was born. I was faced with the most difficult decision to make. I knew I would not let him suffer, not even one day, even if it meant I would suffer the rest of my life....
On January 2nd, 2014 I terminated my pregnancy. I am not ashamed of my decision. I/ We have had so much support. I've always been Pro-Life, but until you yourself are faced with a decision like this, it is not fair to judge (this could be a whole other topic, which I may visit in the future). We said Goodbye to our baby and have nothing left but a set of footprints, sonogram pictures, baptism record and broken hearts.
I want to write, I feel expressing my feelings are good, even though I bawl every time I do it. I'm writing because I want to bring awareness to these rare, yet common disorders, I want to people to know my Liam and see him through my eyes. My very first pregnancy has come and gone and my very first BABY had come and gone, but I want the world to know him and I want the world to know our story.
Most of my writings will be aimed towards Liam, but I may throw in a few blogs about other things, but I'm doing this for him, for us, for our families....
Hugs, prayers and Love <3 font="">3>
