I didn't remember that it was Memorial Day Weekend. It was all just starting as I type this- very scary time. Truly a miracle. Glad he is still here today! Love ya John. -Sara, Paul, & Max
HOLY CRAP!!! It would be an understatement to say I'm glad things turned out well, so I won't say it! Love you guys!!!
And weren't you like 9 months preggo at the time!! Thankfully everything turned out ok.
NICE HEADER!!!!
What an absolutely horrible experience. I guess now you can say that Memorial weekend could not get any worse than that one, so they can only go up hill from there. I am so glad there was a happy ending.
I remember this as being so scary and bizarre! I am so thankful everything turned out great and there are no lingering health problems. Seems like bad things happen to you guys when you are pregnant! Didn't you get in a car accident when you were around 9 months with Tate? Darn trials. Thank you answers to lots of prayers!
Oh and I love the new layout slash header!!! Very cute.
WOW!!!! Who pimped your blog??? It looks AWESOME!!!
Hi Marie.
I am happy to hear from you. Your blog is very cute and fun to read. Except this post! I'm glad everything turned out well, what a scary experience!!! Your family is adorable and you look fantastic too. Glad to see it!
It seems like it should be longer then just 2 years since this happened. I'm glad everything is good now. And I never knew that Jon punched a nurse.

Hi Marie - I know we don't know each other very well, but we have met a few times through Mandy Abbott and I found your blog on her's. I couldn't help but comment on this post! How scary!
