When Cecilia and Shayne Espinosa learned they were expecting a child, they never imagined the challenges that lay ahead. Living in Pine Ridge, South Dakota, the couple’s world turned upside down when Cecilia’s pregnancy became high-risk, threatening both her and their baby’s health.

But Cecilia knowing in her heart that she wanted the best for her baby — was determined to carry the baby full-term.
When Aaliyah and Ricky found out they were expecting their second child, they had no idea how quickly their world would change. At a routine ultrasound, doctors discovered their baby had a rare congenital heart defect where the heart doesn’t develop properly, causing blood flow issues.
