So it was one of those where when we did our business and then, you know, we said, we just totally made a baby. You know, you just know. And 100%, that's what happened. I'm cracking up. So we weren't preventing, we weren't necessarily like, trying really hard, but it was difficult. All the what-ifs came in.

I'm very fortunate that we have our rainbow baby, but going those nine months was very difficult. But I had extensive checkups because of my history. They did checkups every week with me.

Um, excessive checkups. Anytime we felt uncomfortable, we went to the hospital immediately. I was there all the time. If, if I didn't feel him kicking for some reason and Brody liked to sleep a lot in the womb. So he had me, he had me going for a while, but anytime I felt uncomfortable, they said, come in immediately. And we would check the heartbeat, um, You know, heartbeat monitors at home.

I have mixed feelings on them because sometimes they don't work correctly and that can give you a scare. So I think going to the hospital...

Yes. Um, so we made sure that every nurse knew, I mean, it was in my charts. I had the same OBGYN that I had with McKinsley and, Same hospital, same everything. So they did have our history, which I think is a positive thing. So that part was really, really good. But you just can't... The 12 weeks to me doesn't exist. The safety net in the 12 weeks, to me, that's non-existent. Right.

And I know that's kind of harsh to say, but you can lose a child at any time in the pregnancy. Obviously, I was at the finish line. And so... I don't say that to scare any mamas out there, but I want it to be known because I was not prepared at all. I had no clue this could even happen. I feel so uneducated about that and a little naive.
