Yes I've seen this! This is so heart breaking, but it truly shows the strength of these parents!
-
Saw this on fb a few weeks ago and yesterday
-
I read about that a while ago... It's amazing for them to stay strong and make the most out of it! It's so heart warming and bitter sweet at the same time. My heart goes out to them
-
-
Their story is truly amazing. The strength they've had throughout this pregnancy is admirable! Their positive outlook and ability to truly embrace their precious little boy warms my heart, even though it breaks for them at the same time.

Oh man.. I happened to be awake nursing last night around the time baby Shane entered the world and was so happy to see the update on facebook. I knew he wouldn't have long but it still breaks my heart to see the newest update. Hugging my little man a bit closer today.
-
So sad =(
I just saw this;
UPDATE: The Haleys shared that, ''at 6:15AM, after meeting his entire family and being baptized into the Catholic faith, baby Shane died peacefully in his Mother's arms.''
-
@Mamaof2: It was this part that absolutely broke me: "Shane spent his entire life in the arms of people that loved him unconditionally and I don't think you could ask for a more beautiful life then that"
The strength that family showed... it's nothing short of awe inspiring. -
My heart just hurts for them. The positivity that they were able to maintain is incredible; such strong, loving parents who had faith that things would work out as they were meant to.
-
So many tears.
-
@Mamaof2: OMG, so heartbreaking.
-
Their attitude simply astounds me. So sad.
-
I was reading about this last night while she was in labor. How incredibly heartbreaking, yet such an amazing story of two parents who love their baby with their whole hearts and enthusiastically do so much for their child before it's even born. Makes all of my problems and gripes seem so ridiculous. Going to hug my babies so much tighter tonight. God bless this couple for being such an inspiration.
-
My heart breaks for them. To love that much when you know the possibility or the bleak outcome. They made the most of what time they had and I think they are amazingly strong. My problems are so trivial in comparison.
-
"he spent his entire life in the arms of people who loved him.." gah. tears.
-
It's stories like this that make me realize just how much becoming a mother has changed me. Before I had LO I obviously would've thought this story was sad, but now...I want to leave work and go hold my baby. I can't imagine what this family is going through. It's just too painful to even think about.
-
So many tears. It just breaks my heart into a million pieces. I want to go hug my baby right now.

My cousin had a twin pregnancy where one of the boys was diagnosed with anencephaly and the other had no development issues. She found out at 16 weeks and decided to carry the pregnancy as far as she could, enjoying her time with the boys.
They were born at 24 weeks. Morgan passed shortly after birth. Andrew will be three years old this month.
Reading this story on FB, HB, seeing it on the local news brings up all the emotions all over again. We're so blessed to have these angels for the short time we have with them. -
@lawbee11: I couldn't agree with you more. I have to actively avoid reading up on things like this because it just really depresses me and makes me SO sad to even think about. I can't even fathom it.
I of course saw it pop up on facebook today and read the article and now I just want to go pick my baby up at daycare and snuggle her. Reading it has made me feel really guilty today about the fact that I love my job and want to work instead of spending every waking moment with her, even though I know working allows me to be the best mother I can be.
-
I saw this earlier. I just can't believe how positive this couple is. They are so strong. Sad but very inspiring I think.
-
Wow such a sad story. I hope they get a rainbow baby (I hope that's the correct usage of that) when they are ready.
-
@lawbee11: i totally agree, i've only been a mom for 7 weeks. before i had LO, even while i was pregnant, i would have thought this couple was crazy for going through all this knowing their child won't survive - i would have thought, why not terminate and try again? now, i totally understand the desire to meet their child and hold him for even a couple of minutes. there was one picture especially that really got me - the one where the mom is holding the baby and kissing his little hand - i do this with my LO frequently while nursing him and it's such a special moment that i am so happy that this mom got to experience it, even for just a couple of hours.
-
That family is so strong. My heart is breaking for them and that sweet baby.
