Baby Clayton...

Our sweet little boy Clayton,
was born on May 15, 2009,
weighing 1 lb and being 11 inches long.
My water unexpectedly broke Friday morning around 11:45 AM.
We went to the hospital to learn of our grim diagnosis.
Only being 21 weeks pregnant our little boy only had a 1% chance of survival.
My body went into labor soon after and Clayton was born at 8:11 PM,
beautiful, perfect, and stillborn.
We are very sad about the outcome of this, but have felt so much peace and comfort throughout this trial. I'm grateful to have the chance to be the mother to this special little spirit, who just needed a body.
We love you Clayton and look forward to the day that we will see you again.
