Kristen (ElyianaPaige) had early labor

[LinzluvsGJ]

I hate to post this here for Kristen, but I wanted any of her friends to know what happened.
I talked to Kristen today and she told me a little more about the labor and birth. She said he was absolutely perfect and had the longest fingers. She was due the beginning of June.

I went into labor on christmas day at 11am and by 12:45am Rhys was born. He was 5.2 oz and 8in long. He lived with us for 2 hours and he passed at 2:45am. He was perfect lindsey. I can explain more later. Rick is home with me and the girls are at my moms. My mom and dad got him just before it all happened. He will be cremated sometime next week and I will get to bring him home. We are trying to find a decent urn for him but they are so pricey. Our parents are going to help pay for it too. It is to much to think about. Physically I'll be ok, I had lots alot of blood and high fever afterwards and emotionally I'm a wreck. I'm gonna head out today to get some things done so I dont sit at home and think about this all day..try to get my mind off things for a while. Ricks shop opens at 5pm 573-860-game or so and I may be there and I'll be home later on tonight too if you want to call or I'll be on and off the comp. I hope you guys had a nice christmas. I'll talk to you soon.Kristen

Some more details from her that she wrote for diaperjungle:

I don't know where to start. This is the sadest thing I've ever had to post. I started having mild pains on christmas but found the strength to fight through them for my little girls to watch them open gifts. As the day went on the pain got worse. It started at 11am and by 8pm I told DH this isnt right I was having pain every 2-3 mins. I was in full blown labor. I was taken to the Hospital but they couldnt pick up contractions, They tried to get an IV in me 4 times but I had no vain to poke at and then I felt a huge gush..I had huge clots come out and DH and the DR tried to assure me that everything was OK until I told her that I felt something down below that didn't feel right. I'm sorry I'm trying to fight back tears while I type. I gave birth to Rhys Dominic on Dec 26th 12:45 pm. He faught long and hard with us for 2 hours before having to turn him over into Gods hands at 2:45am. I left my little man at the hospital yesterday and we are having him taken to a funeral home where he will be cremated sometime next week. My heart hurts so much. I miss him little guy. The hardest part was they done an u/s on me when I was in labor and they didnt realise i was in labor bc of the pain and he was so active and moving around..he had no chance outside of my tummy. They just kept saying I'm sorry there is nothing we can do for him. We just waited and watched his little chest move till it stopped. He was 8 inches long and 5.2 oz and yet he was perfect. He had the longest fingers I have ever seen, his feet were huge, and his lips were as perfect as his daddys. I miss him so much. I've had very little sleep, when I do I dream about him and that makes me sad bc he isnt with me anymore. I wil get to see him again someday for sure for today I just want him back snuggled up in my tummy. I lost alot of blood and was running a fever later that morning so I stayed in the hospital a little longer. I left on my terms the hospital staff didn't rush me at all. I could see Rhys as little or as often as I wanted. I asked to see him one last time to say goodbye to him before I left. I took a few photos of him so I wouldn't forget his tiny face. I just wanted to let you all know.


I'm sorry I have to go now..I don't know when I will be back on.

Love you all, and thanks for all your support

I never really had a chance to thank everyone so much for everything you have done. It means so much to me and my family that you was there for us to support us in our time of sorrow.

It warms my heart to know that there are so many kind and generous people out there who care so much. So from the bottom of my heart thank you and may God bless all of you!

Since the passing of our son in 2007 we've celebrated his Angel day in remembering him for who he was and the time we were blessed to have with him while on this earth. He will be missed dearly and never forgotten.

I am also very very excited to say that for those who do not already know I am expecting again. We are due to have a baby Girl any day if she comes on her own otherwise she's being evicted on March 6th. Next Friday!! We are soooo excited to be blessed with another one of God's beautiful miracles!.
