    About Me

    I've been married one year to my husband Justin, whe we found out we were going to have a baby we were so excited. At 16 weeks I went to the ER with what ended up being a kidney stone. While in the hospital they did an ultrasound of the baby. They saw that the baby was having heart failure due to a cyctic hygroma which caused extra fluid around the baby's brain, lungs and abdomen. Later that day the baby's heart failed and they induced labor. I delivered Christian Alderfer on May 9.
