Sad Week For My Family

We had what turned out to be the worst Valentine's Day ever on Tuesday. My sister-in-law, who was pregnant with her first child, went in for her 38 week appt on Tuesday, about an hour after receiving the gift we mailed out for our future niece. At her appointment they discovered that her baby girl had no heartbeat. After 24+ hrs of what must have been the most emotionally painful labor, a beautiful daughter, granddaughter, great granddaughter, niece and cousin was stillborn at 6:45 last night.

One of the volunteer photographers from Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep went to the hospital and did a photo shoot for the family...I am oh so thankful that there is an organization out there that does this for families who have experienced such a painful loss. I will be remembering them for donations in the future.

I am heartbroken for my SIL and her husband. All we can do at this point is be there for emotional support and pray for them because they could use all of the prayers and good thoughts that can be offered.
