| Comments: | It was hard for me to accept the fact that my daughter was not with me physicaly. especially since she was my first. Her name was Emerie Lynn Werkmeister. On April 12, 2009(Easter Sunday)at midnight exactly I got my first contraction. I didn't think anything of it because i was only 6 months and 1 week along. And I also didnt know what a contraction felt like, i just thought that she kicked me really hard. The pain progressed on getting more intense and closer together and they lasted longer too. I quickly, or as quick as i could walk, went to get my What to expect book that i always had around, in case something new happened. I flipped to the labor section and low and behold, i had every sympton for labor. Panicing, i went to the hospital. When i got into the labor and delivery ward it was about 4 a.m. The nurses and my doctor examined me only to inform me that i was fully dialated. In just 4 hours i went from absolutely nothing to BABY IS COMING, And TOO EARLY!!! i had an emergency c-section and at 5:38 A.M my little ray of sunshine was born.
Emerie was 1 pound and 14 ounces and over 3 and 1/2 months too early. She did exceptionall well the first 24 hours but then her heart rate drooped to 5 beats per minute in the blink of an eye. she finally let go at 6:55 a.m on April 13 2009. just a little over 24 hours after birth. My boyfriend and i were devistated but knew that GOD had and still has a bigger plan for us. I hope i can eventually get my angel back. To Emerie Lynn, I love and miss you very much and your daddy does too....Stay sweet and keep us close to your heart because you will forever be in ours! love MOM |

God certainly has brought beauty from ashes. The Bible verses you have chosen on your webpages are some of my favourites too. God Bless You for using your suffering to offer comfort to others. Suffering makes you either bitter,or better. I am so glad you chose "better". |

| Comments: | I have been friends with Christie for almost twenty years.We were pen-pals, We then met each other in real life and have been friends ever since. My son Justin is the same age as Little Darrell would have been, he was born less than a month after Little Darrell and when we were pregnant I thought it would be neat if they would have been friends. But I know they will meet one day in Heaven! |

My Story: I can't believe my little one is gone. He was born at 38 wks and 5 days old, Weighing 7lb 3oz. His name is Robert Richard Dale Hope(Robbie). His due date was April 5th. There were so many complications with my pregnancy. First was the RH negative factor, many ultrasounds and many blood tests and many visits to Fetal Assessment Floor at the IWK. He was growing slowly but began to thrive and grow with each day. Weeks went by and he was doing well. Growing fast and the levels were reasonable. By March 20th, I wasn't feeling so great. My husband was out of town on business and I was on bed rest till my Routine check-up and my family Doctor was going to swipe my membranes on March 26th. By Easter, I was so tried and the baby was not kicking as he normally does. I felt scared. I would drink orange juice because that normally worked but nothing. Wednesday I was so tried and sick. My blood pressure was up and my feet were swollen more and more each day. (I had trouble with my blood pressure in last weeks of son's death). It began to get worse and we headed to Drs. She took the Doppler for twenty minutes trying to find a heart beat, but nothing. I was worried and I knew in my gut, he passed away The Doctor told us to go to hospital. It was a long trip this time. It felt like eternity. The nurses and Drs got the Ultrasound machine out and checked for a heart beat. There wasn't anything. I screamed,"No not my baby!!!!". From there, they put me on meds for my high blood pressure and started my labor. They started from 6pm March 26th, and I had him 1318 on March 27th. I was very ill at the time of giving birth. They put me on some IV drug to help my blood pressure. I had a fever and was vomiting and nausea, the whole night. Nothing could stop the fever and the shakes. By late afternoon, I had Robbie. He was so beautiful. He looked so much like his sister. We got pictures done and a memory box made up from the Nurses. I was in the hosp for 4 days after the baby. I couldn't put my heart to opening the box. It hurt too much. In time we would opened it. , After funeral April1 st, I ended up in Emerg with high blood pressure of 210/110. I was rushed by Ambulance to IWK. I was in the hosp for another 4 days till my blood pressure was under control. It has been a rough battle with my physical health as well as my mental health. My heart has been going through such a roller coaster of emotions. I’m surprised I lived to tell my story. I’m blessed and have the opportunity to do so. Maybe my life, I can help others with the similar experiences and loss. We received are autopsy report in 4 wks, which I'm not surprised. A lot of people looking for answers wait weeks or months or never. I guess I was the lucky one to find out what had happen to my baby Robbie. It wasn't my fault. I did blame myself through the last 4 week. I know now, it wasn't my fault. His cord was abnormally long, as well as his placenta. The cord was 75 cm, when it should've been shorter. Cord tied a true knot and after he passed, the placentas tore and bleed, causing my blood pressure to raise out of control. One week later, after the reports, his pictures came in. It was such a sad day. I lost all memory of what he looked like. He looked perfect. My body is healing slowly. I have many appointments to see many Doctors and specialists. I know I'm taking care of me and loving me again. I need to nurture the side I have been putting on the back burner . At night, I think I still have Robbie in my arms, but I realize when I wake up; he is not in that basinet, we made for him. Mother's Day was heart breaking Day at my church, but I got through it. I went to his graveside but the headstone wasn’t in placed, so we had no idea if the flowers we put down, were his . I put down flowers and a butterfly, which I found the meaning on a site and it describes it Symbolism: "The butterfly exists in four distinct forms. Some consider that so do we: The fertilized egg is planted in our mother's womb. From our day of birth we are like the caterpillar which can only eat and creep along. At death we are like the dormant pupa in its chrysalis. After that, our consciousness emerges from the cast off body, and some see in this the emergence of the butterfly. Therefore, the butterfly is symbolic of rebirth after death. " I thank my Pastor, who visit me in the hospital and prepared my sons funeral. My Pastor prayed for me that night and also my church members. That night, while I was leaving the washroom, I felt a presence I never felt before. A hand went across my shoulders to hug me. I knew it was some higher being. I smiled and walk slowly to my bed. |

| Comments: | My husband and I were so excited the first time we became
pregnant in 2000. We found out one week we were pregnant, and the next week we found out I had a huge tumor in the womb with the baby. The doctor told us I was pregnant in my tubes at first, and he could take the baby, and we could try again. When he went in to do the surgery, he said I had a massive tumor in the womb with the baby, and there was nothing he could do. We lost the baby three days later. There were horrifying circumstances concerning the doctor I had trusted my life with. God led us to another doctor who took the tumor out, and helped me with my next pregnancy that produced a wonderful little boy named Chad, who is six years old now. Christie and I were pregnant with Chad and Little Darrell at the same time. We were 2 out of 10 women pregant at church that were going to have boys. Christie and I were so looking forward to them being friends. God had other plans for both of our little ones, and I'm so glad I accepted Him as my personal savior, so I can be with my other child one day. Please make God the center of your life, so you can handle the bad days and you can look forward to a great reunion one day. |

| Comments: | Well I just signed this guestbook in April. I had really prayed that the next time I signed it, it would be with the news of my 4th child's birth. I had a miscarriage with my 3rd child and found out on June 21st that we were expecting our 4th child. Well on Tuesday I went ot the dr. because I just did not feel right and learned that my 4th child had gone to be with the Lord 3 weeks ago. They called it a missed miscarriage. I wish I really would have missed it and not have to be sharing bad news instead of good news. I go in the hospital tomorrow for a procedure, so everyone please pray for my husband and I.

| Comments: | Dear Christie,
I just read your story and realized it's just as well that we had to hang up because of my tears. I can't wait to meet you and God bless you for the work and comfort you are sharing with others. While mine are 17,10 and 5, I sometimes think "Wow,I can't believe I couldn't wait for you to learn how to talk!" but I truly do know they are a gift from God and trials will come. I know grief also and as sorry as I am for the loss of your precious boys I can rejoice in Heaven's gain. You're an inspiration and a profound testimony-Love,Sandra "...HE is LORD of all" Acts 10:36 |

He never took a breath on earth. His heart rate was beautiful the day before. We miss him so much and look forward to the day we meet him again. We are thrilled to say we have had two sons since then, Nathaniel James (12/7/04) and Bradford Ellis (11/21/06)! They looked exactly like their brother when they were born! |

| Comments: | As described in my earlier signing, June 29, 2004 was the sinlge most saddest day of my life when I gave birth to stillborn Emma Elisabeth. I still carry her in my heart everyday. I am EXTREMELY EXCITED to announce; however, that July 16, 2006 was the single most HAPPY day of my life. That is when I gave birth to Bethany Alexis. She was born 3 weeks and 2 days early at 6 lb., 7 oz and 18 3/4" long, and she is PERFECT. I just wanted to update everyone. Mommyhood is the absolute best. |

| Comments: | I wanted to share mine and Tommy's story of our precious Joseph Todd. Joseph died as a result of SIDS on 10-18-05. I like to think of him being taken by SIDS {S (Suddenly taken) I (In the) D (Divine) S (Spirit of God)}
I was due to have Joseph Aug 17th of 2005, however, he decided to come exactly 6 weeks early.......on our beach vacation!! My water broke at 3:15am on 7/6/05 and I was at Carteret General by 4:15, already contracting. We were told that I wouldn't deliver there since they were not equipped to handle 34 weekers. So.....At 9am, without my husband, or anyone else for that matter, I was airlifted to Pitt County Memorial Hospital. I had dilated only 1.5 cm at that point. Terrified to go alone, I had to trust in the 2 gentlemen who rode on the helicopter with me. I landed at Pitt 30 minutes later in excruciating pain. No wonder!........I had dilated 8.5 more centimeters on the 30 minute trip!!! I kept saying, I need some medicine!!! The doctor said that she needed to check me first. I then said, "Give me some medicine & you can do whatever you want!!!" She checked me and told me I was at a 10cm & it was time to push. So.....I landed at 9:30am and was 'prepped' and pushing by 9:50am, with no meds! At 10:21am, Joseph Todd Nance was born and I was the most proud (and exhausted) Mommy in the whole world!! He weighed 5 pounds, was 19 inches and had a head full of hair! He stayed in NICU until the following day to be monitored. He never required oxygen, only the CPAP for a couple of hours to help his tiny lungs. He went into the convalescent nursery the next evening & was discharged that Sunday, July 10. He came home on a bililight because his bilirubin had gotten up to 15. He was able to come off of that by Friday 15th. He got down to 4 pounds 9 ounces at his lowest. He was a champion eater......I breast fed him. In his 15 weeks, he saw three states (NC, SC and Va). He did so much in such a short time!! "Little Boo" was a happy baby and the light of all of our lives. He is our only child (for now...we plan on giving him brothers and sisters in God's time). We know that God gave him to us 6 weeks early so that we could have him 6 weeks longer! Had he come on his due date, we would have never gotten to those huge gummy grins he gave us all the time! I would have never dreamed that the morning of October 18 (which was such a special morning for me & Joseph), I would kiss his forehead and tell him I loved him for the last time while his eyes could still look into mine. Those were the best 15 weeks of my life. If I knew could have Joseph again & only have 15 weeks with him........I would do it all over again. We are so blessed to have been chosen by God to have been Joseph's earthly parents. We know that Joseph was in God's Glory before he was every picked up from his crib. He never felt any pain. He never knew what was happening. All Joseph ever knew was happiness, love and warmth. As much as I know he loved his Mommy & Daddy, we know that the bright lights of heaven were just too amazing to pass up. In 15 weeks, without ever saying a word, our little Joe Joe taught us what it is to love selflessly, completely, uncontrollably and indefinitely. For that, we will always be grateful. We love you Joe Joe!! |

He was still born. I had a cord abruption. We named the baby Christopher. He looked just like his daddy. I have other children so I'm still blessed and so are you. I was really hurt because he would have been me and my husbands first son. The lord is truely good and he knows how much our hearts can bare. Everything he does is right. He continues to bless us after a tragic loss. |

| Comments: | After 3 years of trying to conceive, my husband and I were overjoyed to find out we were pregnant. It was arguably the single happiest day of our lives. For 18 weeks I carried our precious little one beneath my heart. I didn't even mind getting sick every single day, because it was well worth it. We had the AFP performed (which I was very nervous about) and it was normal, that was such a relief and I finally felt I could relax. Then on the evening June 28, 2004, my water broke. I was devastated! We went to the hospital and my doctor gave us the option of an "abortion" type procedure or I could go through the normal child birthing process and deliver our baby. We were so distraught, we couldn't even think or focus on what to do. My doctor explained that usually when the water breaks that early, something is wrong with the fetus. If I delivered vaginally an autopsy could be performed. The "abortion" procedure would cause the baby to come out in pieces and an autopsy could not be accomplished. I called my best friend who rushed to the hospital to be with my husband and myself. I asked her what I would do if I were of sound mind, because I just couldn't think. She said, without a doubt I would want to deliver. Since I had not started dilating or contracting my labor was induced. Emma Elisabeth was born at 8:40 am on June 29, 2004, weighing 8oz and was 10 inches long. I was so thankful for my decision because I got to hold, kiss, and love on her, she was BEAUTIFUL! She had all of her fingers and toes and the cutest little nose and ears! I didn't want to ever let her go. We took lots of pictures! After the autopsy and genetic/chromosome studies were performed on her and myself, they could find nothing wrong with my little angel. It was like losing her all over again, I had a perfectly healthy baby as best all of the experts could tell, but she was still gone. I was surprised at all of the emotions I went through. After all, I was "only" 18 weeks, it wasn't like I was 40 weeks or anything, but the loss is truly just as painful, no matter where you are in your pregnancy and the grief process is just as long and difficult. I had Emma cremated and my friends bought me an urn and wrote on the bottom "We planned to have a baby, but we had an angel instead". I know Emma is in heaven and someday I will join her. It is still very hard when I see a baby about the age that Emma would have been and it stings, but it does get better, little by little. I once carried her beneath my heart, now I carry her in it. |
