Our son, Jonathan

[Naomi]

Our baby boy was born on May 16th 2007. I was 21 weeks pregnant and began hemorrhaging on May 13th (Mother's Day and my oldest daughter's birthday). I was admitted to the hospital and was there until after I delivered. Jonathan was born stillborn, the doctors say, but I'm sure I saw his little leg move and even his last breath. Our entire pregnancy was unusual. I learned I was pregnant in Jan. My husband and I were surprised, because I had an IUD put in after our 3rd daughter was born in March 2006. When the midwife attempted to remove the IUD, she couldn't. An ultra sound showed that it had punctured my uteral wall and we sitting outside of the uterus. This apparently happened when she put the IUD in. Anyway, the surprise quickly turned to excitement that we were receiving this blessing. At a 19 week ultra sound we learned we were having a boy. We have 3 girls, so a boy was exciting news. It is so hard to believe that it was only 2 weeks later that we lost our boy. The four days in the hospital was an emotional and physical rollercoaster. Our little Jonathan is loved by 3 big sisters, who don't understand why he isn't coming home, but know that he is in Heaven with Jesus. I don't understand why God would have us conceive and go through a difficult pregnancy only to cut it short and take my baby home with him too soon. Through all of the physical difficulties I had, baby Jonathan was always strong. each time they checked his heart rate it was strong. He was not sick or unhealthy. I just don't understand. Thank you for letting my ramble. And thank you for sharing your stories.

Naomi-
It always saddens me to read another story about another child joining the beautiful heavens with the rest of our angels, but please know that you've found family here. It's a long journey, and we're all here together to help one another.

I'm sure we have all ask the question of "why" but it's a question that will not be answered until we sit in front of God and ask him. Sometimes we are not ment to understand but just to believe. Always hold onto your faith in God, pray for Him to sit with you and to help you find understanding.
We lost our son on May 17, 2007 and we miss him very much but are thankful that we know he is in Heaven and he will never suffer. Your son is up there, always smiling down on you and your family. Always listen to the wind, he is there, all around you telling you he is okay, you just have to listen. My heart does go out to you because I have said the same exact things you have said and I will still have days where I will say it again. Keep rambling, we are all here to listen.

Naomi,

Praying for you during this time. Our stories are very similar. We lost our sweet Ethan at the same time nearly 21 wks and everything was perfect until that dreadful week. I too ache not knowing why the Lord took him home so soon...I guess I'm selfish...my sweet baby didn't get to spend time here on earth with us. I hope today was an ok day....and tomorrow too. I know the 16th will bring painful tears. I will pray for your family....
