In March, we were in Florida visiting Michelle and her family while celebrating Kyla's 6th birthday party. During the party I was photographing Bob with his siblings and mother when I knew something was wrong. I was 5 weeks pregnant with Tyler at this point.
We spent 7 hours in the ER in Brandon, Florida. Michelle was with us which made it special ~ so nice of her to support us during that scary time. Michelle had a miscarriage in 2011 and yet God provided her the desires of her heart when she welcomed Kellen Jeffrey only 11 months later.
To my complete surprise I hadn't miscarried! I couldn't believe it! I had never heard of such bleeding during pregnancy ~ I had heard of spotting, but not all out bleeding.
When we got home from Florida, we went up to the Cleveland Clinic to have an ultrasound. This is when we found out that we were pregnant with one baby, but were greatly saddened when the doctors were preparing us for the worst. I cried and prayed almost the entire way home from Cleveland. We were scheduled to go back to Cleveland a week later.
We came home and I reached out to others for prayer.
My sister, Bob & I went back to Cleveland a week later and the hematoma was smaller and the heartbeat had gone from only 105 to 175! What a joy!
We were so thankful that God had healed our baby!
Weeks went by and things continued to get better. We had several appointments and tests and the baby was thriving.
When we entered the 2nd trimester, we began the process of moving the kids bedrooms to make room for baby Westerfield. I thought we were having this baby. We decided to name the baby either Tyler Robert Westerfield or Kaitlyn Faith Westerfield <3
