Nickerson News

We found out today that for sure our sweet Baby August is resting in Jesus’s arms.

On Dec. 15 we found out that #2 was coming and on Jan. 15 we got closure that our Baby August was in heaven. My levels are now dropping, which tells us I am going to miscarry. Please pray for me as I am scared as to what is to happen next.

I told Seth I wanted to name our baby so that we can have a memory of him/her. We decided on Baby August since we don’t know the gender and I have fallen in love with that name.

I am so glad I was able to get pictures of my sweet #2. They didn’t give them to me the day I got the sonogram since to them my baby was already gone and why would I want pictures. But to me, these pictures are so priceless and so precious. I will always hold them dear to my heart. So on Tuesday, I ask if there was any way I could get those sono pictures. Sure enough my wonderful midwife called down to Radiology and within 10 minutes I got over 50 photos of Baby August.

I don’t know if you can see it, but I sure see a head, body and nubs and maybe even an eye. (especially, in the first photo)

I never imagined how hard this was going to be. I look at Abel now and am even more thankful to God for allowing me to mother a healthy little boy. I always knew he was special, but after this experience I truly understand how every child is a miracle and gift from God.

Right now I need to grieve and can’t really express any more thoughts, but I know I will be able to in the future. I kept praying out to God to please tell Baby August how much we love him/her. I know our baby is in such a better place and will be spared the pains of this world. But it still hurts so very much. The pain is so deep.

We love you, Baby August!

-Love your Mommy, Daddy & Abel

My heart is breaking for you. I’m so sorry that you and Seth suffered this loss. I’m praying for you. You may have a close friend or support person that has been through this but if you don’t and need to ask questions about procedures and such you can email or call me. HUGS

Thanks so much for sharing your story/experience. I have not stop thinking about you and praying for you during this trying time. You are so strong and I know that one day you will be holding this wonderful child in your arms, as well as the next baby(s) that God will bless you with. Please call or e-mail me if you have any questions about my experience with this. Love you!

what a long week.
my heart breaks into a million pieces every time i think about your precious little family.
baby august has opened his/her eyes to the brilliance of heaven — and the things that the Lord has asked us to wait patiently for.

your baby will be there, waiting for you…
in the broad span of eternity, we are only asked to part from those we love for a short while…

…but when each second feels so heavy and when each day brings pain…it’s hard to remember that.

i am so sorry for this trial and can only hope that one day, God’s purposes will be crystal clear to all who have suffered a loss like this.

we love you and are praying for your peace…

Nothing I can think to say seems enough… but know that you will all be in our thoughts and prayers. I’m so sorry this is something you have to go through…

I love you all! Praying for you Katie

Oh sweetie, I am so sorry! God knew that you and Seth would be just the right parents to love this little one even at such a teensy age. I am praying peace on your hearts!

Julie, I’m so sorry. I know your heart is breaking, but what a comfort to know your little one will meet you at the gates of heaven. I’ll be praying for you.

Theresa

I’m so sorry to hear the news. I am praying that God holds you both in his arms and gives you peace during this time of grieving, knowing that your baby is also in His arms. You are loved!
