A Baby for the Holidays
Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, and we got a new baby! We were contacted November 4th that twin girls were coming our way. Super exciting. Then we met with the birthmother a week later, and a week after that she went to the hospital because her water broke early. Then one of the heartbeats of our little girls stopped a week after that. The babies were born Monday, November 25th. We had a memorial service that weekend, and a burial close to home. Then we waited for our other little girl to come home and be released from the NICU. During this time, we had family for Thanksgiving, who graciously got a baby girl room ready, attended a funeral for her twin sister, and made us 8 freezer meals for later in one night! They were amazing. We had an outpouring of love from family, friends, and church members. Our bishop was gracious in helping us find funeral services for Rachel, and his wife helped with the baby shower for Esther. ...
