We came home from the hospital today. Sarah Elizabeth Melton was (still)born at 4:02am this morning. I delivered her naturally and alone in the hospital room…an interesting experience, but one I am thankful for. It was quick and not having medical intervention (even though it was only for a few minutes that I was alone) was surprisingly good. Frank had left the room to get a drink…he was gone literally 2 minutes.
Sarah looked so perfect…she was only 3.5 lbs and 16.5 in, and her skin was thin and peeling, however, she looked very much like Lydia Catherine. (Same shape of features, same dark hair).
Today has not been too hard of a day. We are definitely grieving and regret that she is not with us, but we are ok. Lydia is a huge distraction! 
Oh no!! I did not expect to read this … my heart is breaking for you! I’m glad you are feeling God’s presence through this, despite the pain of it. You’ll be in our prayers …
I’m so sorry to hear of this. I know just how you feel, and I know that faith will get you through this time.
*hugs*
