I have some really heart braking news to share so grab a Kleenex.
Do you remember Brian Loveridge and Sara Woodcox? Well they are married and have 2 really cute kids, Kambree & Braxton. Sara was pregnant with their third child and a few weeks ago she had a check up. She asked Brian to come with her so they dropped the kids off at the babysitter and were on their way. Sara told Brian that she was a little worried cuz she hadn't felt the baby move that day, the last time she felt the baby was the night before. Well the doctor tried to get a heart beat but was unable so he called a specialist in and he wasn't able to find a heart beat either. The doctors told them that during the night their baby had past away. Now they had to rush Sara to the hospital to start her into labor so that she could deliver this still born child. Brian and Sara called their parents and Sara's mom was out the door and on the next flight to CO. She was able to make it to the hospital while Sara was still in labor.
Once they delivered the baby Sara just held the baby for a half an hour. The doctors came back in and said we have some news for you...your child is not a little girl but a boy! This whole time they thought they were having a girl. If you read their blog there's a little story about how their little boy really wanted a brother and not a sister. So now they have their little boy that they were hoping for and the little brother that Braxten wanted. Brian told Braxton that his new baby was a boy and Braxton told Brian that he already new that. Then Brian had to tell his kids that they were not bring their baby brother home that he had gone to back live with Heavenly Father.
They were able to spend about 7 hours with this sweet baby holding it and loving it. The doctors finally had to take the baby awake so that they could get it to the mortuary. Then with their kids in the car and their baby in it's casket Brian and Sara drove to UT to bury their little boy. They had to stop about 20 times on the way to UT cuz their kids were so worried about their little brother. They wanted to get out and look at him and make sure he was ok. I'm not sure where they buried him but seeing that they are both from AF I'm guess he was buried there.
For the past little while Braxton has had this imaginary friend named Peter and he went everywhere with Braxton and he talked to Braxton. So when they found out that they had a boy and Braxton said he knew that all along they named him Peter Braxton Loveridge. Linda (Brian's mom) said that Brian and Sara are really having a hard time. They need all of our prayers. I cried and cried when I heard this story. It totally breaks my heart. This poor little family has gone through so much. Not too long ago Brian was battling cancer and now they have lost a baby. I hope they can get through this. I can't even imagine how Sara is feeling right now. To carry a child for 9 months go through labor and then have to bury him. Oh it is just so sad!
Anyways I just thought you'd like to know about this and I know they could use our prayers.
