I'm sorry I did not announce it earlier. See I was asked not to tell too many people due to the circumstances. On July 13th 2009 early in the morning my brother and sister-in-law rushed to the hospital because something was not right with the baby. The doctor's were unable to find her heartbeat and thus she passed away 35 weeks into her short life. She came into this cruel world at 12:05 p.m. absolutely beautiful and perfect. Although we did not get to share the time with her that we were hoping for, we still have the comfort of knowing she had the absolute perfect life. She is with her our Heavenly Father and other loved ones smiling down upon us. This whole situation has been extremely difficult for our family, but we have found solace in the fact that she went through no pain or suffering and is in a far better place. Still it was difficult for me to see my first, and only, niece pass away before being given a chance to experience life. She was truly beautiful, even my husband who hates newborns thought she was gorgeous. She had gorgeous ruby lips which is perfect for being born in July. I hope for the future that none of our family will have to endure this same trial, that July will not be a month of constant pain, and that our family will be able to heal. Here are the pictures the proud mom, my sister-in-law, posted online:

And here are her little feet!
