Tonight she would’ve been 1 week old. It’s hard to believe a week has passed. Yet it’s also already hard to remember life before her. There is a piece of my heart that will always belong to her, no matter how much time passes.
I do want to share some of the pictures of our sweet baby. We got the photos today from our Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep photographer. She did an excellent job, and we will cherish these photos forever.
Heather, she is beautiful. I know there are no words that canheal your broken heart, but please know our thoughts and prayers remain with you and your family.
Heather, she is so precious and beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing her.
Heather, she’s so precious. My heart goes out to you and Nathan.

Your pictures are so beautiful. I am so thankful that you were told about NILMDTS- we weren’t and I hate that we don’t have any good pictures of our baby girl!! I also read today’s post and I so agree. Even though tragedy strikes and our hearts are broken, there is always good to be found. God always provides….
“Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us.” Romans 5:3
Heather, those pictures are so beautiful. They show all the love and the passion of you as a family… I am so sorry you can’t have her in your arms forever. Thanks for sharing Madelyne with us. Such a cutie…

HEATHER I AM YOU MOM’S FRIEND,WE WORKED TOGETHER AT LOURDES IN PADUCAH. I FEEL LIKE I WATCHED YOU GROW UP AND HERE YOU ARE A MOM. MADELYN IS PRECIOUS AND BEAUTIFUL, AND SHE LOOKS LIKE YOUR MOM THE MOST, I THINK. I TOO HAVE A GLORY-BABY AND I CHERISH HIM/HER AS MUCH AS MY OTHER BOYS. IT WILL BE A SURPRISE TO FIND OUT WHAT SEX MY OTHER CHILD IS.
ONLY JESUS CAN EASE THE PAIN, I’M SORRY YOU HAD TO GO THROUGH THIS, IT ISN’T FAIR BUT SOMEHOW JESUS WILL MAKE IT FOR HIS GLORY, OUR GOOD AND HAPPINESS.
YOU ARE A WONDERFUL COUPLE AND I PRAY GOD’S BLESSINGS ON YOU. UNTIL HEAVEN, JESUS WILL ROCK OUR BABIES. ONE OF THE MOST PRECIOUS PHOTOS YOU HAVE OF MADELYN IS THE ONE YOUR MOM IS SMILING AT HER. BLESSED ARE THEY THAT MOURN, FOR THEY SHALL BE COMFORTED…JESUS PROMISES.
