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.

Hi Jen,

My heart breaks for you! I gave birth at AGMC to twins at 28 weeks in Sept. of 2007. Long story short, my son Andrew passed away two days after they were born while in the NICU at Akron Children's Hospital. I still keep in touch with several Labor and Delivery nurses at AGMC and NICU nurses.

I would be happy to help you in any way I can. I spoke with Amy and asked that she give you my e-mail address and phone number.

You and your family are in my prayers!

Jamie

May the love, prayer, and thoughts and strangers bring some comfort to your family at this time.

And many prayers that tiny Ainsley continues to thrive.

Jen, my love and prayers go out to you all. It's a place I remember--I had twin sons at 24 weeks. Billy (baby A) died right before birth, but his brother Danny is a picture of health after 105 days in the NICU. They do incredible things there, and will keep Ainsley healthy and Help make her stronger every day. If you ever need anything or want to talk, please reach out. Love to you all.

Longtime lurker. I lost my twins at 24 weeks almost two weeks ago.
I am so sorry. Insanely sorry.
I am keeping you and your family so close in my thoughts.

Long time lurker here. There are no words that one can say after such a bittersweet day that will be of much comfort but know that someone in Chicago is sending you, Mark, Olivia, Ainsley and Evelyn a lot of love and prayers.

Congratulations on the birth of your daughters and I'm so completely saddened by the news of the loss of one of them. They both need you now, in such different ways. You have proven yourself to the entire online community to be a strong woman, ready to handle what life has to give you. You will rise to this challenge too.

Hug your three daughters and take care of yourself.

I wish I could do something... anything. You're family of 5 is in my thoughts and prayers.

A friend of mine pointed me in the direction of this blog, as she is your follower. I gave birth to my identical twin boys on October 28, they were (are) due on January 3rd. Just Barely over 30weeks. Despite an otherwise uneventful and healthy pregnancy, we lost twin B, Jeremiah. It was the most shocking surreal experience of my life. My surviving twin spent 6 weeks in the NICU, and is with us at home now (as is Jeremiah in his little box..I still haven't decided what to do with his ashes).

I know there is nothing to be said about your situation that helps. Maybe just that your little Evelyn is with the Lord. But that only helps a little. I'm sure everything is spiraling for you. Having one baby in the NICU for so long is hard in of itself. Having lost a child is hard as well. Having to miss out on twins and all that would of been, bad and good, still feels like a sucker punch to my soul. Be strong. You will pull through. It is no way easy.

There were days, and still are, that I feel as though this was all a dream. I'm coming up on my due date here, I dont know what I will do.

If you ever need anyone to talk to about this particular situation I have been there almost exactly. email me @ madelinapolis124@yahoo.com

MissMVK said...

I don't know you and you don't know me but I had to literally re-read your post ten times because I could not believe it. From one twin mom to another, I am so so profoundly sorry that this happened to you. And in such a cruel and unexpected way. Thinking of you and sending strength.

Courtney said...

I was so stunned and saddened to read the news of losing Evelyn. My heart goes out to you and your husband and all the family and friends who already loved this little girl and anticipated meeting her and are shattered by her loss. I am praying for you all. There seem to be some good support groups mentioned in the comments and I am praying you are going to be bathed in kindness and with all kinds of unanticipated help and support as you navigate this extraordinarily painful and poignant time.

Hope Ainsley continues to be stable.

I am just so sorry that you are going through this. Like so many, I will be holding you close at heart.

Heather Fanter said...

I read your post this morning and haven't been able to think of much else all day. I am so, so incredibly sorry. I rarely post, but have drawn so much strength and humor from your blog over the years. I don't know what else to say except that you are in my heart and thoughts.

LutherLiz said...

shit.

I am so sorry. Prayers for you all.

FSD said...

Oh no! I was sitting here tonight and you crossed my mind. I hadn't read your blog in over a week and just had a feeling you had your girls. Joy and sorrow in the same blog entry. Wow! I had to keep rereading your post to make sure I was reading it right. I'm so sorry for your loss of sweet little Evelyn. So unbelievable! I'll be praying Ainsley holds on and does well. Your family and you are in my prayers. (((HUGS)))

Tracey said...

There are no words...I am utterly and completely devastated to hear about the loss of your sweet and precious angel daughter.

I'm sure words will not ease your pain right now but I needed to comment in hopes of easing MY pain. I don't know you but you've been on my mind since I read your post almost 24 hrs ago. I am heart broken for you and your family. I was trying to tell my husband tonight and i just wept. I am so sorry. I try to imagine your pain and it hurts my heart so bad. Little Ainsley will always have a gaurdian angel. Stay strong sweet little baby girl.

Unreal is right. I am simultaneously joyful and horrified. I can't begin to imagine how you must feel. LOVE and thoughts of strength to your family.

Laci said...

I have probably checked your blog over 15 times since yesterday...rereading the words thinking maybe they'll change. Thinking of what to comment, b/c there really are no words for this. You're right this is U.N.R.E.A.L. My heart is so heavy for you and your family right now.

Praise God for Ainsley! Praying you get to take her home soon.

wendy said...

My heart is breaking for you. I hope you were able to cuddle with Evelyn and spend some time with her. I lost my son last year. He was born at 36 weeks and looked absolutely perfect but he didn't have kidney's and left this Earth very soon. I wish no other mother had to endure the loss of a child. If you want to reach out for support let me know. I know some online groups that can offer you support. My heart goes out to you and your family.

Jen, I learned of you through two of my friends. I am so very sorry for your loss. I recently lost one of my triplets to a cord event. I can only say I am sorry and if you need anything, please let me know. I also know you live in Ohio (although not sure where). If you live near Akron, I belong to a support group that has been a tremendous help. Preciousparents.org. They are sponsored by Akron Children's. I hope you took a ton of pictures of your angel. You will cherish them every day for the rest of your life.

The feelings of sheer joy, sadness, and fear are hard to handle. You and your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Audrey said...

I'm not even going to pretend to understand the pain that goes with losing a child. I've been thinking about it all day, trying to make sense of it, and I've only come to one conclusion. Evelyn's life may have been short, but it was filled with selflessness. Because of her, your precious tiny twin Ainsley is alive. God bless you all.

Jen,

I am in a time zone that finds me on the other side of 2011 and wanted to be one of the first to wish you a joyous New Year. My heart has been aching for you and your family for two whole days now, and you were one of the first people I thought of as the New Year arrived here. May 2011 be kind to you. And may the sunshine in Olivia and Ainsley be enough to warm your heart during the gray days ahead...

Erin said...

I am so very sorry to hear the sad news. I am praying for you as you go through this difficult time.....I have been thinking of you all day ever since I saw your post, and could and still can't come up with the right words other than I am sorry and I pray for Ainsley to hold on strong. The NICU will take extra special care of her. I had a 32 week delivery of twins as well due to preeclampsia.....i was fearful everyday they were in there. Evelyn will be the strength inside of Ainsley to keep her pushing to get healthy. My heart pours love,hugs,and prayers.

Brooke said...

I'm so sorry. So incredibly sorry. It's completely unfair and I hate it. Evelyn is a most beautiful name.

There are no words to describe the hollow sadness I'm feeling for you but whatever they are, I know it can't even come close to what you must be feeling.

I'm so sorry. This should never be something any mother has to go through.

Stacey said...

I lost a lot of sleep thinking about your family, and I found an outlet to "help". I just donated to the March of Dimes in memory of Evelyn. I wish I could select "in honor of" for Ainsley, and Olivia, too. The March of Dimes has a major prematurity campaign to increase awareness: "The campaign funds research to find the causes of premature birth, and to identify and test promising interventions; educates health care providers and women about risk-reduction strategies; advocates to expand access to health care coverage to improve maternity care and infant health outcomes; provides information and emotional support to families affected by prematurity; and generates concern and action around the problem." I hope that by the time your girls (and my daughter) are of childbearing age, prematurity will only exist in history books.

However and wherever you are finding strength and solace and peace right now, I hope your own heart finds a balance. Much love (from a stranger) from Canada.

Please know you, Mark, Olivia, Ainsley and prescious Evelyn are in my throughts and prayers. How is it possoble to have such opposite emotions occupy the same space and time? May the love of those you know sustain you, and the love of those of us you haven't mwt remind you that Evelyn will be known and remembered by many. Through you, she touched the world and I know I am better because of it. Take care of you.

There are no adequate words. I won't even try.

Christine Theriault Burke said...

I'm starting to feel like a stalker because I am now checking your site every time I log on... I really hope you have had good news for Ainsley in the past few days. I have no idea what you are going through, and how many overwhelming emotions you must be feeling - just thinking about you guys makes my heart feel like it could burst - and the last thing on earth you should be worried about/thinking about is your blog... but if you have a moment to catch your breath and you think of us out here and have strength to drop in an update we are all holding our breath for you. There is so much love for you and your family out here and I can only pray that some of that love breaks through everything else for just a second, and that you have even just a moment of peace somewhere in this fog that you now have to navigate.

Deanna said...

I'm so sorry! Praying for you guys!

Kristinmo said...

Just wanted to let you know I'm still thinking about you constantly. Also starting to feel like a stalker because I'm checking so often for an update on Ainsley. Continuing to pray for you, Mark and all 3 of your beautiful daughters.
