The Making of Jordan Reece

The making of Jordan Reece... My husband and I had our oldest son together in October 1999 and we had tossed around a couple of names.  A boy would be named one thing but a girl would be Jordan.  If this child was a boy, we settled that the next child, regardless of the sex would be Jordan but we had never settled together on a middle name - I was settled on Reece (for the initials my grandfather, J.R.).  

Two months after our son was born, we found that I was pregnant again (getting pregnant on New Year's Eve 1999).  At the end of January, we were taking multiple pregnancy test getting the same result.  All positive! 

My husband was starting to get a little scared.. worried scared!  We were just getting comfortable with our new baby and didn't plan on any more for a little while longer.. how could we handle two new babies!?

Within a few days, we had come to getting past the worried part... and getting to the excited part, I was calling the doctor for an appointment.  Who better to see than the best - who just delivered our son!  They tell me that they were glad that I called in.  They had been trying to reach me over test results from the pap from the six weeks checkup.  I was trying to get out that I was pregnant again... and when I finally did, she prepared me for a most likely to occur miscarriage.  

After cryosurgery in February or March - I can't remember when exactly and I was losing my mind it seemed.  I was just 24 years old.  I got pregnant with our youngest son in May 2000 and he was born February 8th.... delivered by c-section with a due date of February 15th.  

Here is the making of Jordan Reece.  I sometimes wonder what you would look like.  I wonder what you may be.. if you'd look like me, your father, or a combination of the two of us.  

Regardless of how short our time was the loss is the same, either way!
