Our sweet little girl, Arrayah Lovie was born yesterday morning, April 25th at 6:10 am weighing in at 4 pounds 10 ounces. We had 3 hours and 19 minutes until Jesus took her to Heaven to be with Him. She looks just like Ja with a ton of dark, wavy hair and dark skin. She is absolutely beautiful.
We had a lot of family members here with us and a wonderful photographer from Now I Lay. Me Down to Sleep who came in a stayed for a few hours and took a ton of pictures and each family member got to hold her and get a picture taken which was really special.
We are still at the hospital right now, and will probably go home this evening. They have offered us to stay another night, but I think we will head home.
We are doing alright. Some moments, we are able to laugh and talk, and other times, we burst into tears. It's been nice having family nearby to distract us a bit.
We want to thank you all for the prayers and support. Please continue to pray as we try to heal from this.
I will do another post soon with more details, but I just wanted you prayer warriors to be updated!

Oh sweet Arrayah! How you were loved by so many before you were even born. Praying for the family and especially you Cadie as you figure out your new normal. So happy to hear you had some precious hours with her and that you were able to have some pictures taken. What a treasure to have them. Sending love to you my friend!
ReplyDeleteI am so incredibly sorry for your loss of your sweet Arrayah. You are such a brave woman and the best mother to give her the life that she had, safe inside you, and her 3 hours 20 minutes on this earth. I admire you and all you gave for your baby girl. Praying for all of you.
