Finley Kate Conrad...

Our family has grown...again! Our newest daughter, Finley Kate, was born on March 26, 2010. She was beautiful and so very loved but too perfect to stay. We found out at our twenty week ultrasound that our little one had passed away. We delivered her two days later. What could have been the worst day imaginable turned out to be one of the most sacred and spiritual times we have experienced. We were so very blessed by our Father in Heaven. We felt like the veil was thin and we were surrounded by so many people who loved us. We were able to spend a few hours holding and loving our sweet baby. During that time, we were blessed with such peace and comfort. What a special time for us as parents. We are so grateful that the Lord trusted us with this most special spirit. We are anxiously awaiting the day that we will all be together again.

Oh Shae I didn't even know you were pregnant. My heart aches for you! Being a few weeks away from delivery myself, I can only imagine how what you must be feeling. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

You are an amazing family. I'm proud of you for opening up on your blog. I've been waiting because I remember how much it helped when I opened up about Stephen's passing. There won't be a day that goes by that you don't wish to have your baby back. It is amazing to have the knowledge that we do. I hope that you always know and feel that I am here, if you ever need or want to chat. or for anything else....

love always...
Jess

Hope you are finding comfort and peace, but also letting your feelings surface so that you can heal. All in time, but I am here for you.

Love Always, Your friend

So I'm crying...thanks lol! I know we have had our hard times and we don't always see eye to eye on things, but I LOVE YOU! I know firsthand how hard it is to lose your child prematurely...I miss my son SOOOO much everyday. Treyce would have been one year old already if he would have lived...I never realized how much you love those tiny spirits before they are even born until Treyce came along. I now know that minute I found out I was pregnant to the minute I found out that his spirit was in heaven, I was head over heals in love with my little man...and still am. I think as sisters, sometimes we take each other for granted...we don't always give forgiveness as easily as we should. I want you to know that I do love you so much and hope that someday you and I can sit down as sisters and cry til we can't cry anymore...we have both been through the loss of a child...we both know the heartache that goes with it...I love you Shae!

oh that made me cry. I remember who thin the veil was when I lost Dayna. Oh how my heart goes out to you and the pain you go through. You are so strong and wonderful. Your thoughts on my facebook always bring a smile to my face. Thank you for being so kind. You are just amazing.
