I'm sad to say that Baby Evan passed yesterday afternoon, no suffering, and surrounded by family. Mother is asking for no tears, it was just God's will, and Evan is where he needs to be. It wasn't his time to be with them, she says. I still pray for her and her family.
I was trying not to get excited about hitting 19 weeks today till my friend told me to be joyous, she said even though her baby is gone, she's cheering us on considering all that DH and I have gone through to get this far. She is truly a good woman and someday she will be a wonderful mother. They aren't giving up!
I had a discussion with DH today about our chosen boy name. Charles Ivan William. We changed it slightly. It's now Charles Evan William, I don't think my grandfather would mind. I lost my grandfather a few years ago and I think he would be honored to 'share' with Evan. Evan and Ivan are almost the same name but from different regions. It's not set in stone yet but it's something I would like to do and DH is agreeing with my decision.
Please don't get upset about Evan. Yes, it is sad, yes, I did cry, but his mother wants us to remember the joy he brought them for a short time, not his passing. She want us all to go on and have fat healthy happy babies!
Life is such a fragile and strong thing at the same time...
