LOVE FOR EZRA October 12, 2022

Here is a small glimpse into our reality lately.

A few weeks ago we had the typical anatomy scan. To us everything looked great, our baby had everything that they’re supposed to have. A heart, lungs, big head, and a big ol forehead. To the naked eye baby seemed perfect. Then a day later my OB called me to tell me that things were not all great with our sweet baby. That baby had a lot of complications, that made baby incompatible with life here on this earth. After that heartbreaking call we were referred out to a OB in Grand Rapids. We went there a week later. So I was 21 weeks. They did a bunch of scans, it was very lengthy. We saw baby move, and do all the fun things, however our tech was pointing out the complications, and describing what she saw. It was heartbreaking, there truly are no words for the depth of our pain we feel, and the grief of it all.

So our high risk OB did and extensive test on me to get an official diagnosis on our sweet babe. After two days we found out that the diagnosis is terminal. So that our baby would be born sleeping. We also finally found out that she was a she! A sweet baby girl.

We landed on a name Ezra Kay Oum. We believe her name holds so much truth into the season we have been brought into. Will always walk this season for forever.

Ezra Kay Oum was born into the arms of Jesus on October 12, at 8:21am. Sweet Ezra weighed 2Ibs, 12inches long. We have loved her since day one, and we will never stop. She is so perfect in every way, and we know where is she is the ultimate definition of perfection. She is still our greatest accomplishment. We love her to the ends of this earth, and we cannot wait to meet her again in eternity.

To you our sweet Ezra,

Since day one mommy and daddy have loved you, and baby girl we will NEVER STOP. To the depths of this earth we will never stop loving you. We hope that you know and felt our love. I hope you felt the warmth from us as well. We had to say hello, and goodbye all in one swoop. We hope you know that we will celebrate you everyday. Your life mattered and still matters to us. You taught us so much, more than you’ll ever truly know. You were made to be ours for a reason. You are so dearly treasured and so loved our sweet sweet girl. Sweet girl you made us parents, and we will forever be thankful to you for that. You have our whole hearts.

Love,

Mommy and Daddy

Much Love,

The Oums
