Evelyn and Ainsley.

They were born tonight.

Ainsley is at Children's Hospital holding her own. She is tiny but is stable.

Evelyn is here with us, for now. We lost her some time this evening. We are loving her now while we can. All this time, we had no worries about our Hog Baby.

This is unreal.

At the same time I am grieving for you, Mark and the rest of your family over the loss of your sweet hog baby, Evelyn.

It's such shocking news. Take care of yourself.

I wish there were something I could do to help. I'm so so sorry Jen :(

Jennifer said...

Jen, I am so very sorry to hear about the loss of your sweet girl. I am praying for peace and strength for you and your family.

*Hugs* Be strong....you guys are in my prayers.

Danielle said...

So, so sorry to hear this. I read your blog avidly -- never met you, but feel like I know you, and crying as I type. What strikes me is that in the midst of what is undoubtedly an extremely emotional time for you, you took the time to post an update for all of us. I'm not sure I could do the same if I were in your shoes. I wish you success in loving and appreciating Ainsley and Olivia as you mourn Evelyn.

I was devestated to read this. I'm so very, very sorry for you. Keeping your family in my prayers.

Melissa and Peter said...

I'm so sorry for your loss. I read your post early this morning and can not stop thinking about you. As a mother of twins I can not even begin to imagine how you are feeling right now. Your blog has put a smile on my face through many years of infertility and it seems extra unfair that you are going through this. I hope Ainsley continues to fight and does not have to be apart from you for too long.

Sara said...

Oh, Jen, I am so sorry. I read quickly and thought you simply meant you lost her back to the NICU. Not this... I am heartbroken for you and your family. Hugs and prayers.

I can't even begin to imagine such sadness and joy all at once. Not at all what I was expecting to read. I am so sorry you have to go through this.

Courtney said...

Like everyone else, I'm so sorry for this turn of events. Am I reading this right, that hog baby is Evelyn? The one that seemed healthier?
If I knew you, all I would know to do is hug you. So here is a hug online. **Hugggg** (there was a back pat in there too).

ssw said...

I'm so saddened to read your post this morning. Sending prayers that you will feel the embrace of God during this time.

Unknown said...

Oh, Jen. I am in complete shock....I can only imagine how you're feeling right now. I am so so sorry. While it may not be of comfort for you now, please know that you were a wonderful mother for Evelyn - you cared for her, loved her, found joy and took pride in her for the past 32 weeks. You were everything she needed you to be.

Praying that while you mourn sweet little Evelyn, you will also be able to find joy with Ainsley and Olivia.

Alexis said...

Oh no. I'm so so so so sorry. I can't imagine what you must be feeling right now. Welcome to little baby Ainsley. Hang in there.

Shauna said...

i am so sorry....
i can't even imagine what a jumbled up mess of emotions you must be.....
how to process the joy of Ainsley, while still worrying about her progress.....with the grief for Evelyn.....and still caring for the needs of Olivia.....
i have no idea how you would process and move through all of those emotions........except for just one moment at a time....
hoping for the best for you and mark and olivia and ainsley.....may god hold little evelyn tight for you.

Busted said...

We used to both post on the nest/bump boards and I had kept up with your story on and off since then - someone linked to your blog from there and I was so devastated to hear this news. The loss of a child is something you never got over and I won't lie and say that the road ahead of you will be easy, but your whole family will be in our thoughts and we will remember Evelyn with much love.

I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss.

Carol said...

Its simply unspeakable all the heartache you've had to go through to try to build your family and then to have a lovely infant daughter taken away. If you aren't still absolutely numb I imagine you are going through so many emotions. I know you joke about having the uterus of doom and probably feel like you have failed but this is not your fault. You did nothing wrong. You deserve healthy children just as much as anyone else. You are not being punished. There is no lesson in all of this. It just is what it is. I want to reach out and hug you and I want to send every ounce of my strength to you, your daughters and your husband. Cherish the moments with Evelyn and find your inner strenght for Ainsley! You can do this.

Jenna said...

So, so sorry for your loss. Praying for you and your family.

Nat J said...

Ohhhhh Jen. I am so sorry to hear :( Like many others I don't know what to say at this most difficult time other than I'm sorry you and your family have to go through this but know that there are so many peeps praying for you, sending good vibes and hoping for the best outcome for Ainsley. Take good care of yourself. You are an amazing mama, never forget it. May God bless sweet little Evelyn.

I am so sorry.

Oh Jen, this is unbelievable. I'm so happy for their birth and heartbroken for you about Evelyn. We will pray for you and your family.

Faithful Infertile said...

Jen, I too am heartbroken for you. I delivered my IVF twin girls at 26 weeks gestation. Marleigh was 2lb 1 oz. Natalie was 1lb 11oz. Our little Natalie was actually the stronger of the two, but we lost her at 27 days. Only someone that has been there can truly understand. Take care of yourself. It will be difficult, but Ainsley needs your strength right now. Know that she will have Evelyn as her guardian angel through out her life. I'm sure that with your love, Ainsley will grow strong quickly. Our daughter, Marleigh, was in the NICU for 75 days (she should have been in there way longer). She is now almost 2 and perfect in every way. She is our miracle. Our survivor. Many milestones will be bittersweet, as it will be a constant reminder of the little miracle you have lost. Surround yourself with love and support. Remember Evelyn fondly. I choose to remember how strong Natalie was. She was barely over 2 lbs and breathing completely on her own. She pottied all over her Daddy while he was trying to change her diaper. I choose to remember the good. I'm trying to let the last two days of her life fade away in my memory. But, we will ALWAYS remember her. She will ALWAYS be a part of our family. She existed. That's the one thing I continue to tell people. Please don't ever forget about Natalie. I'm sure you'll feel the same way about your precious Evelyn. We will never forget her. Sending my love and prayers. If you would ever like to talk, please send me an email. Sarbearjo@gmail.com

I am so so beyond sorry. I know those words don't mean much - they can't convey what everyone is really feeling for you. I wish there were some that were. You'll all be in my thoughts. Grow strong, itty bitty. And Evelyn, I'm sure you were much loved.

Oh man Jen, that is just the worst. I'm so sorry for both you and Mark. My heart's breaking for both of you. I'll keep little Ainsley in my prayers.

I am so very, very, very sorry for your loss:( Words mean nothing at this point, I wish they did. You and your family will be in my thoughts. It is just so unfair.

I, too, read this post several times, thinking I must be reading it wrong. I wish there were words that could take away some tiny bit of grief for you. I'm so incredibly sorry. I am praying for Ainsley and for all of you.

I'm so sorry Jen. We're all so shocked

Congratulations on baby Ainsley, I'm sure she's a beautiful precious miracle.

I do not know you, but I just read this blog and want to tell you how very very sorry I am to hear this tragic news. Nobody should ever have to go through this. Sending love and hugs your way!

Dear Jen, such joy and sadness all at once. No words can console. Prayers and angel wings for little Evelyn in her journey...strength and health and happiness for little Ainsley in hers. Sending lots of loving thoughts your way. Most sincerely, Paige's Mom

I've already commented, and realized in my sympathy and sadness for you that there is something I wanted to say to you that I forgot.

THIS IS NOT YOUR FAULT.

YOU DO NOT HAVE A UTERUS OF DOOM.

YOU DID NOTHING TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

YOUR BODY IS NOT A FAILURE.

YOU DESERVE TO HAVE BEAUTIFUL BABIES.

THIS IS NOT YOUR FAULT!!!!!!

We mom's do that. We take on this guilt because we feel it is our place to protect our children. I know you are heartbroken, but please in your grief, remember that you are a wonderful mom and this horrible event is a tragedy that you did everything in your power to avoid. There wasn't anything more you could do. We just aren't given that kind of control in this life. Hugs and prayers for you all.

I wish I had the words... the perfect way to say congrats on the birth of your babies and also all my condolences on the loss. Sometimes the words fall short. You and yours are in our thoughts and prayers.

Rachel @ The House of Burks said...

Words can't adequately express how sorry I am. Dear God. I am absolutely sick for you. Fight, little Ainsley. You are all in my prayers.

Shila said...

My heart just aches for you and Mark. It is just so unfair for anyone to have to go through such a horrible loss, but even more unfair when it happens to such an amazing family. You are a wonderful mother and even though I have never met Mark, I know he is just as amazing as a father. I will continue to keep you and your family in my thought. Precious Olivia and Ainsley will always have a guardian angel watching over them and smiling.

I cannot even imagine what you must be going through. My heart goes out to you and your family. I am praying for Ainsley to get big and strong so that she may come home to you soon.

My heart is broken for you and Mark. I am so sorry for the loss of Miss Evelyn. Praying you find a peace that passes understanding. And for sweet, bitty Ainsley to grow to be a healthy little chunker. You are loved. From yet another adoring stranger.

Unknown said...

I haven't stopped thinking about you guys. So sorry again and lots of love.

Stacy Woodruff said...

How does one offer congratulations and condolences at the same time? If only I knew the words. While I am sure you are celebrating the arrival of Ainsley, you must be heartbroken over the loss of Evelyn. What an emotional roller coaster. My prayers are with you and your family as you go through this difficult time. I will continue to pray for little Ainsley to thrive and have a short NICU stay.
