Emmanuel

Our baby was stillborn on 26th April 2011.

We are unsure as to the gender of the baby, who we were able to say hello and goodbye to yesterday.  They were beautiful.  King David said of his baby that passed away in 2 Samuel that he would go to him, and we believe that we will see our baby again.

Our baby's name is Emmanuel, which means God With Us.  We called them this because despite this being the hardest thing that we have ever been through, we know that God is with us, He never leaves us, He gives us strength and peace and lifts our heads.

Thank you for sharing in our excitement with us over the last few months.  I will probably share more of my thoughts about this on my own blog.
