I sit here at the computer with aching heart and weeping eyes. We just received word that this weekend our baby was stillborn. The birthmom had an infection and was put on medication. They thought all was fine, but she was experiencing some difficulties on Saturday and ended up in the hospital. Her water broke and the cord was wrapped around the baby's neck and there was nothing they could do. We found out today our baby was going to be a little girl.
Though she was never a part of my body and I didn't even know if she was a boy or girl, she was still mine in my heart. I had imagined holding our baby, caring for our baby, watching Mike be an awesome dad, and having the awesome responsibility and privilege to rear her to be Christ-like.
Please pray for us. God is good all the time even when I hurt. He does have a plan and a purpose and while I know this to be true, that does not change the fact that my heart will still ache for the baby we never were even able to meet and my eyes will still weep.
