I don't even know how to start this post. I'm lying here in the hospital emptier than I've ever been before. (please forgive any mispellings and grammatical errors, I am on pain meds right now and no sleep)
On Friday morning I went to the dr for my routine 2 week checkup and we did not hear a heartbeat, after an ultrasound with a specialist we were sent to the hospital for an induction. My sweet little baby boy was born last night at 1153pm. He weighed 2.2 lbs and was 14 inches long. He was absolutely perfect, except he was not crying or moving or wanting to nurse like he was supposed to. The hardest thing that I've ever had to do was hand over my precious baby boy to the nurse to take for an autopsy knowing that I would never see him or hold him here on earth again. It's so hard for me to watch my husband and see how badly he's hurting. I'm hurting too, but its different when you watch your strong husband lose his baby boy, his namesake. We're both so thankful for the time that we had him to hold and to love on. We're so thankful for the friends and family who've shown their support and offered up prayers. We're thankful for the pictures that we have of our sweet baby boy and the little momentos that hospital has given to us. We're thankful for the wonderful nurses and doctors that have helped us through this tragedy. I thank God for the blessing that he placed in my life for such a short time.

Robin, this is the first time I have ever visited your blog. The love of Jesus in my heart goes out to you. May you and your husband be covered by His grace in the days to come to help you through this hurt....
I am so very sorry...
prayers to you and your sweet family
He was so beautiful! We do not and probably will never understand why this happened. I hurt so badly for you and Eric. I can't imagine what your going through, but remember I'm here. I may not always be the best sister, but I love you so much and I hate that you have to suffer like this.
Wish I could just jump in my car and run to your house and be with you. But you know me I would never, make it back to that big city on my own, I have nightmares of that traffic.
I am praying so much that God will ease the pain in your hearts! I love you and miss you. Call anytime you need to talk or want someone to cry with!
Love ya,
Leslie
