‘Two and a half weeks went by with me battling my heart and brain about what was happening in my body, wondering why this wouldn’t just be over.’ 

The couple announced they were expecting their third child on November 4, and discovered they’d lost the baby on November 23. 

‘Initially, I felt complete despair. And then I saw the baby. Fully intact,’ her post continued. ‘Tiny, perfect head and face and arms and legs.’ 

‘This was a perfectly well thought-out, precious life formed in my belly, and it most certainly went straight to the arms of Jesus.’ 

Swipe to see what’s up in my world. It’s long-winded…. short version, we lost the baby. Had to share this since we had shared the news already. I know you’re all so supportive and kind. I just couldn’t face it before. Now let’s get back to our regularly scheduled programming. #ihavealotoffeelings #andphotostocatchupon
