The similarities in our stories are astounding. The pictures you have are even so similar. I can't believe it. The stat c-section, the drugs, seeing him before he was transfered, John holding him while he passed. So much....goes straight to my heart. Matthew was so beautiful. And perfect. I am so sorry you had to go through all of this. My nightmare was on April 14th, 2009 and I remember it like it was yesterday. I am in litigation with my doctor so I have not put my story on my blog. I don't know what else to say. I am just stunned. Congratulations on beautiful Matthew and the near arrival of his little brother.<br /><br />My prayers to you and your husband.<br />Christy<br />p.s. I am due with Chase's little brother Feb 13th.

My daughter died one hour after she was born on January 2nd, 2010. She was also born in an emergency c-section. I didn't meet her a life. While my daughter was fighting for her life I also was stock in my bed without feeling my legs. My husband also hold her when she died and that also changed all my world. Praying for you and your new baby.Mom2005https://www.blogger.com/profile/15145286653578959162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273909430922264674.post-7548031918614048392010-09-07T19:26:33.513-04:002010-09-07T19:26:33.513-04:00I am so sorry for your loss.

I have a Matthew that I fought for and it is hard for me to understand why sometimes they live and sometimes they don't. I will tell you that I have a firm belief in the fact that this baby will always be your baby and someday you will be with him again. I also have a firm belief that he is in the most wonderful, happy, peaceful place. I have always wondered if these sweet babies are simply too pure and too wonderful for this world.<br />My thoughts and prayers are with you and your sweet family.Sonorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14157673100145462827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273909430922264674.post-58838837831088160152010-06-02T18:36:05.210-04:002010-06-02T18:36:05.210-04:00Lori,
