"They say that time in heaven is compared to 'the blink of an eye' for us on this earth. Sometimes it helps me to think of my child running ahead of me through a beautiful field of wildflowers and butterflies; so happy and completely caught up in what he is doing that when he looks behind him, I'll already be there."

~Tyler's Story~

   We tried for 5 years to get pregnant, so you can only imagine how truly excited we were when our 100th pregnancy test showed a positive sign!  I actually sat on the floor and cried so hard Ben asked me if I was okay.  We called everyone we knew, we were so excited and couldn't wait to tell everyone.

    I never felt better or happier in my life, I never drank (not even a sip) of alcohol nor smoked, though I had an occasional cup of coffee.  I think I ate more vegetables and fruit than I had seen in my entire life, watermelon was my favorite and I could eat a whole one in one day!!!  My pregnancy was perfect and I loved every minute of it.  Ben and I would lay in bed at night and talk about what Tyler would look like and who he would act like, though I already knew he would be as calm as his dad because in my belly he was so calm.  I loved my growing belly and I loved that little boy growing inside of it, I imagined all of the things we would get to do together.....only to have those dreams shattered. 

    The day before I was 34 weeks pregnant I woke-up and looked in the mirror, I was so swollen.  I called my doctor right away and she had me come right in.  My blood pressure was elevated and I had gained 14 pounds of water weight over night, so I was put on "modified" bed rest.  I was given shots to develop Tyler's lungs and sent home.  I would go in once a week for blood pressure checks and once a week to check me and Tyler.  My doctor kept telling us she was going to induce me before things got "bad" for me, but then kept pushing the date to the following week.

    April 4th, 2006 I got up in the morning and went in for my blood pressure check.  On those mornings I only saw the nurse, who said my blood pressure was higher than normal so she wanted to talk to the doctor, after talking to my doctor she told me I could go home.  The doctor did not come in to see me, nor did anyone check Tyler.  That night as I watched Ben put together Tyler's crib I had a ton of braxton hicks, I was so excited, Tyler was coming on his own!!!

   April 5th, 2006. (38 weeks pregnant)...a normal, quiet morning.  The braxton hicks were gone.  I sat and watched tv, then ate some lunch (I still remember what I ate to this day) and waited for Tyler to get the hiccups, which he did EVERY day after I ate lunch....nothing.  I started to wonder why he was so quiet, 'must be getting ready for his grand entrance' I thought.  I laid down and took a nap.  Still quiet.  Drank a bunch of juice and laid down....nothing.  Called my mom who urged me to call the Birthing Center.  I called them and they told me to come in.  So I called Ben at work and asked him to come with me.  He rushed home and we packed the car, we thought we were going to have a baby that night.  We brought the digital camera, the video camera, all of Tyler's NB clothes~ALL of them!!!  On the way to the hospital I thought I felt him move and we almost turned around, but Ben thought we should just make sure.

   When we go to the Birthing Center they brought us to a room where they check the moms to see what's going on, there are two beds in that room and when we got there, there was already a mom hooked up to the monitor.  I got undressed and put on that hospital gown, climbed up on the bed, laughing with Ben on how silly I felt......that was the last time I was truly happy............
