I am so overwhelmed by your kind posts. I have read every reply. For those of you that sent me PMs, I promise to get back to you, but it may take a couple days. It is a great feeling to be part of such an amazing group of women. I even recognized most all of the screen names and it was great seeing some ladies back from when I joined the bump several years ago with little cuties in their siggys... I do remember you even if you were quietly rooting me on for several years.
You all are too generous and a special thank you to Sweetdahlia for organizing a card collection.
Because baby B was born with a HB, it is considered a live birth, so we had to name him and went with Robert Paul. They encouraged us to also name baby A born without a HB and we chose Duane Alexander. We were waiting for the anatomy scan (supposed to be 8/24) and hadn't discussed names yet, so we decided to go with some family names from our late grandfathers.
When they did bloodwork, my white blood count was high so they said likely I had an infection, which presumably caused the preterm labor. Because my white blood count was high, I had to remain in L&D for 2 days. After I was released yesterday, we had to go to the funeral home to arrange transfer from FL to IN... we have never been in that room of a funeral home before and we have no desire to be there again anytime soon.
Again, thank you.

I just wanted to come by and give you so much love, support and prayers. I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I have no words of wisdom to impart just simply that I am here for you and I am thinking of you and your family during this insanely difficult time. I know I havent been on the bump in years practically but when I heard of the delivery of the boys, I knew I needed to come and show support especially after all you had given me through the years I was here. May god guide you through this time of sorrow and let your angels forever watch over you ((((hugs))))
Lots of love

I don't believe that God ever tells us "no". he has three options. Yes, not right now, or I have something better in mind. We just have to wait & see.
This is beautifully worded.
You have always inspired me with your positivity. I pray that you find comfort during this difficult time and those to come. Wishing you safe travels back to IN.
