How We Ended Up in Florida
One year ago this past weekend, I made the stupidest brave decision of my life (so far).

Update
At our follow-up, the MFM specialist also noticed some abnormalities in the placenta. I was sent to get blood work done and he called my doctor. They are suspecting a partial molar pregnancy, bringing some serious complications to the table.
