Murphy Baby #7 in the NICU
Donation protected
After losing our 6th baby, Margaret Clare, to a Down Syndrome-related heart defect on May 26, 2020, we were in the midst of grief when in the fall, God gave us one more blessing: a new baby girl.
Murphy #7 was born this afternoon at 1:15pm, weighing in at 5 lbs., 10 oz. At just 34 weeks, she is currently in the NICU as her lungs continue to develop.
We kept her a secret from almost everyone in our lives. Why? After losing Margaret Clare on May 26th last year, we wanted to navigate this pregnancy in a way that kept us comfortable, at peace and give the older kiddos a safe place where they could worry, ask questions, grieve, be excited, etc. There are a lot of pressures and judgments facing large families, perhaps especially when they’ve suffered a loss.
Please pray for us. While we are so excited and blessed by #7’s arrival, the loss of Maggie is still so raw, especially so close to the anniversary of her passing — just two days from now.
Funds from this GFM campaign will help to cover the costs associated with childbirth, NICU care, work leave, and baby preparation. Beyond that, any additional generosity may be used to better our family’s financial situation. Thank you!
