Yesterday was the worst day of our lives. Today will probably be even tougher. Today will be the only day in our entire lives where we will get to see and hold our baby girl.
Heather was induced yesterday from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. Then they let her rest for the evening. This morning at 7:30 they started the induction again. The doctors expect it to be an all-day process.
Thank you to those who told us about Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep. We will be doing that.
My parents come in at 7 tonight. Heather's parents and sister come in at midnight. I will try to keep everyone updated. Thank you for allowing us space and privacy as we grieve.

Oh dear Greg and Heather, we wish so badly we could be with you too. We are praying, trusting him to care for you. We love you.
Will be praying all through this tough day for you-
Matt and Jill
We love you and are mourning with you. We are lifting you up in prayer continuously.
We respect your desire for space. We want you to know that your church family is ready and willing to help in any way we can. Nothing you ask of us is too small or too big.

We are praying for you.

Hi, my name is Kim. I am Todd Erickson's wife. We heard about your loss through Matt and jill. I just wanted you to know that my heart is so broken for you. We are very literally crying with you. We lost our fourth month old son in 2004, so though I cannot say I know exactly how you feel, I definitely know the horrible pain of losing a child. There are absolutely no words for somethiing so difficult. Though I do not know you, please know that you will be prayed for continually. I am praying for God's peace and comfort to cover you right now, and for strength as you have to do the unthinkable and plan your sweet little girl's funeral.
So hard.. our family have walked through the same very dark and difficult waters... praying and weeping with you.
There are no words. Just tears for you all. You are being lifted up to the Throne of Grace by many who love you. Great Aunt Ruth and family
Greg and Heather,
We cannot say enough how much we are thinking about you all. Know that we are praying for you constantly. We love you very much!

Dear Greg and Heather;
My name is Ashley and I am an old friend of Courtney's. I heard the news of your loss through a prayer request that Courtney sent out and have prayed for you ever since. Our family has in turn asked all that we know to pray for you as well. Even though I am a stranger to you please know that we carry you and your family in our hearts and that although it can offer little to no comfort at this unbearable time please know that Maelee will be loved and will be remembered by so many that have heard of your loss.
