After Rachael and Justin's first baby Gracie Anne was stillborn at 23 weeks 6 days gestation- (April 19th 2008) due to Turner's Syndrome, Cystic Hygroma and Fetal Hydrops, we were all overjoyed on Jan. 6th 2009 to learn they were expecting a healthy boy. Not even a week later at 20 and 1/2 weeks gestation Rachael had some alarming symptoms and was diagnosed with incompetent cervix/pre-term labor (cause unknown). She underwent an emergency cerclage and was on hospital bedrest for a month. Then February 11th she went into labor and it could not be stopped. She had her little boy at 24 weeks 6 days gestation. This blog is the story of Rachael's time on hospital bedrest, Jimmie's 88 miraculous days in the NICU and now a joyous homecoming and life at home. As told by Rachael's sister, Jimmie's Auntie Amber.
