Please understand that Noel and I will not be available to the blog world. Our doctor informed us today that Baby B died within the last week. He had no explanation for the loss so far along in the pregnancy and as you can imagine, all of us are shocked as each boy was progressing well. We are undergoing tests and constant monitoring to ensure that the the other two babies remain healthy. The only guesses at this point is that Baby B had some heart or chromosonal abnormality. We are praying that it was nothing that could impact the remaining two boys who at this point, the doctor believes are doing fine – they are 3 lbs and 2 lbs 8 oz and strong heartbeats. We are both just devasted with shock, grief, and fear. We have the delivery date scheduled November 17 if we are able to make it that far and if all remains well with the the two remaining babies.

I’m at a loss. I cannot say anything.
I’m so sorry.

Oh. My. Word cannot express the sorrow I feel for you right now – which is, of course, nothing compared to yours.
May you find the strength needed.
October 26, 2006 at 2:39 pm
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. There truly are no words that will console you, I know. Godspeed, sweet angel.

My heart and thoughts go out to you in this terrible time of sorrow and fear. Nothing I or anyone else can say can make your sadness any easier. I do, however, have a dear friend who lost one of her twins during the latter part of her pregnancy, but was able to go on and give birth to a healthy and wonderful baby girl. I tell you this only to offer you some hope for your other children. all my love and prayers to you…

October 26, 2006 at 4:49 pm
I’m so sorry for your loss. I also know someone who was pregnant with fraternal twin girls and lost one around 32 weeks. Her other daughter was delivered healthy. I hope this reassures you a little about your other two boys. Again, I’m so sorry. You and your family are in my prayers

Prayers to you both.
October 26, 2006 at 5:31 pm
Kristi I am so sorry. I know how hard it is to loose a child, I lost a baby girl a few years back at the 21 week mark and it was the hardest thing my husband and I have ever endured.I will be continually praying for you as you walk through this journey and of course for the continued health of your other two blessings.
I wish I could give you a hug.

Remember to be gentle with yourself. Grief comes in waves, just go with what you need at the moment. Nobody knows better what you need than you do. I wish I could send you a huge alpaca wrap to cuddle yourself in…

October 27, 2006 at 4:45 am
Hang on in there, girl, and keep thinking positive for your other boys. I`ve lost a child (he was seven years old) and the only thing that kept me going was my other son and my then five week old daughter. I wish you both all good fortune, and I hope the next time you post it will be of the two of you with your two beautiful health newborn babies.
October 27, 2006 at 8:59 am
We’re thinking of you, and sending love, and prayers.

October 27, 2006 at 10:28 am

I have hope and faith that you will find your way through this, and that you will find a special way to celebrate the spark of joy that that little guy brought to your lives. I know you may not be able to see your way through it right now, but you will. Many of us have. It will not be easy, and there will be moments that you will want to give up..stay as strong as you can..that’s all you can do.

I am Susie’s husband and Katy’s dad. They told me of your loss. I am so sorry to hear of it and will remember you, your husband and your children in my prayers. God’s plans can be confusing sometimes but one thing I am sure of is that this little one is in His tender care now.
