Tate Harold

After almost 4 years of infertility we were blessed to get pregnant via IVF with our boy Tate in October of 2022 after a previous failed transfer. We were so excited to be parents. That excitement was short lived, when on December 28th after celebrating Christmas with our families and imaging what next Christmas would look like my water broke at 14 weeks 2 days. I went to the Emergency Room to confirm what I already knew. We were told to go home and rest and wait for my body to go into labor. What we thought would be the end of my pregnancy turned into 14 more weeks of waiting. Tate showed us just how strong he was and that he wanted to make it earth side to meet us. We were given every worst case scenario for what could happen to both myself and Tate if we continued with the pregnancy and we decided that as long as I stayed healthy and Tate kept fighting so would we. I went to weekly doctors appointment and ultrasounds from week 15 to 23 thinking every time could be the last time I would hear his heart beat, but he just kept fighting and proving us wrong. At 24 weeks I was admitted to the High Risk unit at the hospital to be monitored until birth. I went in knowing it could have been 10 weeks in the hospital if all things went as planned. Tate had other plans. On April 1st, 2023 at 28 weeks 5 days Tate decided his daddy's birthday was the time to make his arrival. He came into the world fast and furious and I know he would have lived his life the same way. We got 5 hours with him before his underdeveloped lungs could no longer keep up with his body. We tried for years to get Tate and we are still trying for his sibling. I know he would have been the best big brother and I can't wait until the day we get to tell his siblings all about him.
