HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRIGHTON WILDER!
April 30, 2022
Today, at 8:39am, our brave and strong Brighton Wilder came into the
world in the most peaceful and calm manner possible. He was here just long
enough to tell us hi and that he loved us before being carried in the arms of
Jesus to Heaven, completely healed and only knowing love and feeling no pain.
Lassen was able to come in and
see his brother. He eventually got into bed with me and looked at Brighton,
touched his cheeks, and said “Love you.” So heart wrenching and sweet.
Brighton has the most perfect
face and nose and defined lips. He has the softest cheeks. He has the sweetest
fingers and long feet and toes. He even had quite a bit of hair! We eventually
weighed and measured him. 4lbs, 1 oz and 15.5 inches long. Just so, so perfect
and I already miss feeling his little bottom pressing against my belly. I miss his
kicks and hiccups and movements. Thank You Jesus that I felt those so strongly
all these months. My boy was so strong and brave.
So many prayers were answered
during our time here. We had so much joy yesterday and today when we met
Brighton – it was just the best. Our nurses, Marlie, Shellie, and Nicole, were
the perfect people for each stage of our journey. Dr. Foxlow was able to
deliver Brighton just as she was ending her shift- I rapidly progressed to a 10
just in time. Brighton spent a few precious minutes alive in my arms! Whenever he passed
into Heaven, it was so peaceful we were unaware. Thank You Jesus. Joy and
sorrow coexisted today only because of Jesus and it was beautiful.
I didn't feel Brighton move at all after he was born. Kyle felt him squeeze his finger, like he was saying "Hi Dad! I love you." So thankful he has that precious memory since I got to feel him move for 9 months.
