MckLinky Blog Hop

The day my husband and I met our son Wyatt was one of the best and worst days of our lives...

We were able to smile because we finally got to meet our son. We got to gaze upon his tiny, beautiful body... We got to see that he looked like his big brother but with a more defined chin like his father. We got to soak up his newborn baby smell and cuddle him close to our hearts...

At the same time, it was one of the darkest days of our life. It was the day we had to say, I'll see you someday in heaven", as we surrendered our son to God after just two minutes of life.

My husband and I both love this photo. In the midst of our darkest valley, Wyatt was our little ray of sunshine that guided us to God's peace in the middle of a raging storm. I think you can see the peace we felt that day in this photograph. Although June 1st will always be the day my son passed away, It will also always be the day he lived! I prefer to focus on the latter.

This week, on TUESDAY, 7/7/09, the theme is A FAVORITE PHOTOGRAPH. Post up one of your favorite photographs and a caption that tells the audience about it.

I am following in the booming trend of the famed Mr. MckLinky...

If you are visiting my blog for the first time, Welcome! My name is Danielle and I started my blog as a general way to keep my friends and family updated on my pregnancy with my youngest son Wyatt. We went to our 18 week ultrasound to find out what we were having and found out our son had a condition that was "incompatible with life". We were urged to terminate our pregnancy, but that was never an option for our family. We waited with love to meet our son, and prayed for his healing. God used our sweet, broken little baby boy to bring him glory during his short life here on earth. Against all odds, Wyatt lived for two minutes after his birth (Doctors expected him to die during the pregnancy or be born still). It was only through God's glory that I got to breathe the same air as my son for those two precious minutes and bask in the comfort of his warmth. I continue this blog in hopes that our son's story might comfort other families who are going through a similar journey. As I carried Wyatt knowing the pregnancy was all I would have with him, I found there were not many places to turn for support. I hope my blog of our time with Wyatt will in some way help others through a very difficult walk. If you are walking this lonely road, I am so, deeply, sorry... I would love to pray for you. Don't forget, God is still in the miracle business!
