Happy Heavenly Birthday, Little Jeffy. Mom Bre tells, from her perspective, about her 2nd pregnancy and the birth story of her son, Jeff Jr., who was diagnosed with bilateral renal agenesis, the absence of both kidneys at birth, at her 20week ultrasound. The doctors told Bre and Jeff that Little Jeff would not live if she delivered him early or later. They decided to carry him as long as possible, and after he was born, Jeff Jr. lived for 6 hours and was able to spend time with his mom Bre, dad Jeff, and sister Murphy. Jeff Jr. died in his dad's arms in January 2019.
