From my twin baby boys:
From Baby A
Dear Mama
I was so excited to come down to our little family. So excited that I made sure that you, mama, felt my presence very early on. You knew me and my brother were on our way before you had your first ultrasound and heartbeat check! I tried hard to stay healthy mama, but my little body wasn't strong enough. I fought hard for 4 long months to be a survivor, to come out and meet you, to meet my older brothers Wesley and Austin and to be held in your arms. I seemed to be developing just fine; with all my fingers, toes and heartbeat beating in tune with yours. It came as such a shock to you when on August 7th (your birthday), the Dr. told you that I was no longer alive.
Heavenly Father thought that I was too special, too pure, too perfect to come at this time. I know that you will miss me, and I will be waiting for you on the other side with my tiny arms held open wide. Please don't cry any more tears for me mama b/c I want you to enjoy my brother who is still on the way and will always carry a little part of me within him. Remember the joy that I brought to you for a small piece of time and how much I love you. Be strong.
From Baby B
Dear Mama
I know that you already feel the loss of my brother leaving us. I too feel sad to know that I will never get to share that nursery with him that you have been dreaming up, or to sit side by side with him in your arms. I feel a part of me has left and it will be hard to always wonder what he would've looked like and how close we could've been as brothers.
The Doctors are concerned that I may also have some complications. I am going to fight extra hard right now to stay healthy as I develop and grow in your body Mama. I want to be strong! I want to bring me and my brother's love to you and our family despite our painful separation.
I too look forward to being held and kissed in your arms. We both love you very much and although we are separated for now, we will always be your twin baby boys.

Sweetie...you know I love you and that this has been a very trying time in our life. It, quite possibly, may be the most difficult month to date in our married lives. The good news....we have each other and two wonderful, healthy little boys. And a beautiful house to go home to.
I love you very much...you are a special person and mean so much to me!!!
sweet Adrienne...I will make this short and sweet. I love you so much, you are in my thoughts and prayers, I am here if you need anything at all. I'll talk to you soon.
Adrienne,
I'm so sorry you are going through this hard time. I can only imagine what it feels like. Take care of yourself and your baby boy. I know you are strong enough to handle this or anything else that is thrown at you. We love you guys and hope that everything goes well with the rest of your pregnancy. We're thinking about you!
Candi
My prayers are with you...I can only imagine what you are feeling right now!!
As I sit here I knew there was a reason why I tryed to call you either today...Know that my eye's are wet and that I love you so much...It seems that we all have our up and downs and they only make us stronger people!! You are such a strong mother, wife and dear friend! I'll keep you in my prayers!! Please call me!! xxoo!
How often we take little things like healthy babies for granted. I thought the story-line was supposed to be more like "it was a near miss, but by some miracle it all ended happily-ever-after". May angel carry you during this next 6 months.
Adrienne, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I can't imagine the grief this must cause. You are in our prayers and we hope the rest of your pregnancy is uneventful until a healthy little baby boy joins your sweet family.
I'm so sorry to hear your sad news. I can't imagine how hard it would be to lose your sweet baby boy. You are in my thoughts and prayers....
My dear friend...
you are beautiful with your thoughts and I can feel his little spirit through your words. You and your family, of course, are in our prayers. We love you so very much and I know you have already heard this, but we are so sorry for such a great loss. Love you.
Oh Adrienne. I am so sorry to hear this news. I know how strong you are and that you have a better attitude than most would. I would really love to talk so send me your phone number. You are in my prayers, as is your sweet little baby boy.
I love you! And you are loved by so many... let our prayers and thoughts buoy you up through this tough time. (((Hugs)))
Adrienne, I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of one of your twin boys, but comforting to know he'll always be a part of your family. I love the stories you posted from their points of view. I'm glad to hear there's still a healthy one in their fighting hard to come meet his family. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Much Love.
I hate that it has been so long since we have talked and especially that you have had so many life changing things I did not even know about. We are praying the the pregnancy and delivery go well the rest of the way.
Adrienne, that was so beautifully written. I am so sorry you are having to deal with so much as you move out here. Please know I feel so blessed that you have moved here and become a part of my life. I can already tell you are an amazing person. If there is anything I can do to help you PLEASE let me know! We would love to have the boys come play again.
I'm glad you could catch guys DUI! You go girl! I know what you mean about the Super-WalMart. Bummer. But as you said, some things are still similar. :o) (talk about bad customer service, I have a story for you sometime.)
Anyway...I digress. Have a great conference and call when you get back!

Adrienne and family,
So sorry to hear about your loss. We miss you guys and you are in our prayers!
There are never good words to make up for the feelings you have at a time like this. I'm so sorry that you have had to go through this. I hope that you can receive the comfort you need.
Adrienne and J, I love you both, and you are in my prayers. Adi, please call me...
I'm so sorry for your loss!! That must be so hard! I can't imagine what you are feeling right now! Mindy had the same thing happen to her with her 3rd pregnancy. I'm so sorry Adrienne!
I cannot even imagine your pain. You, who always love and support and cheer up so many, now get to let yourself be wrapped in the arms of your husband, your little boys, and your savior and let them care for you. You are in my prayers.
Ades- sorry I haven't read your blog lately. What can I do for you? I'm so so sorry. You will be in my prayers hun. I hope you are doing better.
