Maybel Peace
Saturday morning the 13th. (My dad's birthday) I went into labor at 39
weeks. When our midwife came she was having trouble finding our little one's
heartbeat, so we transferred to Bethesda North where we found out our little one
had passed away about 24hrs. before I went into labor. Our beautiful baby was
born at 4:30pm. It turned out to be a girl! Luckily we had both names picked out
even though we were expecting a boy. Her name is Maybel Peace... meaning
beautiful one of peace.
For each of our kids we wanted names they could grow in
to, have character, and that represent the gospel. Sybil grace means prophetess
of God's grace, and Maybel Peace which I said above means beautiful one of
peace, and I know she would have been a testimony for the gospel of the peace
the Lord brings, but that her precious life will continue to be a testimony for
Christ! She was 9lbs. 4 oz. And absolutely breathtaking! Even though her skin
was peeling a lot and she was so fragile, she looks a lot like Sybil did when
she was born, except she had a lot more hair and it was dark.
To say we are
heartbroken would be an understatement...there are so many emotions, and
memories made during the pregnancy in preparation for this sweet one as well as
a grievance for memories we will never get to share with her, but we are
trusting the Lord during this time, even though we don't understand why she
passed, and we look forward to meeting her one day! For now we know she is at
peace, getting to spend her birthday with her grandpa on his birthday, with our
Heavenly Father who loves her more than we ever could, and forever in our hearts
and lives as a family. We so appreciate your prayers during this time, and I am
sure we will be able to share more with you all as time goes on. We love you our
sweet
Maybel Peace...our little lady bug...honey bun...sweet baby girl...
Marmee, papa, and your big sister Sybil
