In the Arms of Jesus

On February 2nd, 2011 I went for my 4 month prenatal check-up. 
I was looking forward to hearing my child's heartbeat.
I was out of the 1st trimester and felt like 
I was out of the danger zone...
There was no heartbeat..
the sonogram confirmed it..
We had lost our baby a few days shy of 16 weeks.

I was admitted to the hospital,
labor was induced
and I gave birth to my little girl at 5:37am. 

She was tiny... only 2 oz and 6 inches long. 
 Tiny little feet...
Tiny little hands...

We held her in a little pink blanket 
handmade by Threads of Love.

Ella Ruth is her name.
(Ruth after my grandmother)


Only the Lord knows why...
why my baby girl had to die.

I pray that through our loss
His name will be glorified!

  9. I am so very sorry. I lost a baby at 18 weeks in 2000. Her due date was March 17, so she would have been 10 last week. May the Lord bring beauty and peace out of this pain.
