Sorrow

After sharing the exciting news with us the she was pregnant, at Kylee's doctors appointment today she learned the baby she was carrying had died.  She and Ryan sent the family this sweet email:

Hello Family!

Well, I guess we jumped the gun a little bit sharing our exciting news at Thanksgiving. Our routine doctors appointment today did not give us information about the healthy baby we were hoping for, no heart beat.

We are feeling optimistic and blessed to have a little trial to learn from together and some empathy to gain.

Sorry to spread the burden... We are really doing great and we just didn't want to create any awkward situations by not letting you know.

Thanks for all your wonderful examples and love!

Kylee & Ryan  

How our hearts hurt but how grateful we are for the gifts of the spirit and the love of family at moments like these.
