Last night I sent in our testimony for the NILMDTS website. Once it is reviewed it will be added to their site.

When we were 21 weeks pregnant with Noah we discovered through amnio that he had an extra 13th chromosome and that he was not expected to survive the rest of our pregnancy, or long after birth. I cannot explain in words the grief we faced in the weeks and months that followed. We didn't know if we would get to meet our beloved son before he left this world. A friend heard our sad news and told us about NILMDTS. We contacted our photographer Jane who suggested we take some pregnancy pictures to capture moments when our son was still with us. Having these memories helped comfort us during the uncertain days ahead. February 8th, 2008 Noah arrived and Jane was there to capture our first hours with him. He surprised the doctors with his health and we cherished 28 beautiful days with him before he left for Heaven. Though we wish everyday that he was still in our arms we are so thankful for the many pictures of our sweet baby boy that we have to cherish until we meet him again.
